Barbados

I was in Barbados from January 7-10th to visit a friend, Kim, who lives part time in Barbados and the other in BC. She lives on a farm and is currently building her home in Saint Lucy.
Tristen took me to the airport (taxi) at 10am, after I taught an early morning RWW class. My flight left at 1:30… Ricky picked me up at 2:30 as he was closer and didn’t have time to pick Kim up and get back. He had brought Bond (Kim’s favorite Bull) to the abatoir.
It was a nice drive, an hour, back to Plan B. I got the tour and the grand vision of the home and farm (a lot of work so far, and still much more to go). We walked out to the tree and the swing to watch the sunset, and got the tent set up on the second story. So much fun to just hang out with a friend.
On Thursday we went to the beach and Speighttown, We feed the sheep babies (Sunshine and Lollipop), and Kim feed the chickens. Then we took a drive down the west coast stoping at a beach to swim and take a long walk, then another beach for a ginger beer and swing.
I slept so well while I was there, barely waking up to even go pee— very restful.
On Friday we went to Cluffs (a local beach) that is hard to find and beautiful! I did some yoga on the cliff top and down at the beach. Ricky cleared the walking path for us, and had cut some hay that he was pilling into the trailer. We then went to a beach and restaurant called Larry Rogers in Mullins Bay. Right left to finish feeding the animals and we attempted to catch a bus to Spiegttown, but ended up walking. We hung out at Little Bristol’s and met many of Kim’s book club friends. Ricky picked us up.
Saturday we went for a long walk past the animal flower caves and to an old deserted hotel, and beyond. It was a great 7 hike, and my day started with warm Brownies and coffee for breakfast!! Mmmm
Kim, Ricky and I drove the east coast (Atlantic side) down to the airport… making a few stops along the way. The line up at the airport (for security) was horrendous. They waited for me untill I was through the security doors. We arrived two hours before and I basically had time to walk to my gate and board the plane back to Trinidad.
I had no problem getting back into the country as I had a letter from Peakes stating I was crew on a vessel in the yard.
Errol, the Peakes driver was picking up another person at 8pm…. We didn’t get back to the yard till 9:30ish. Brian was going to make supper, but I didn’t want to eat much that late… so we ate light and went to sleep!Read more
