We visited Barbados in July 2000 and had a most enjoyable holiday. The beach was Jenny's greatest enjoyment whilst I enjoyed the cricket. The local team are known as Piton Dover Cricket Club and it was a pleasure to see them play.
Below are some photos of that holiday.
A general view of the statue of Admiral Lord Nelson. We have often seen his London statue which towers over Trafalgar Square. I had known of this Bardados statue from my stamp collecting days as it is featured on the 4 cent 1953 definitive set.
We made no less than 32 bus journeys including some to Speighton where we met a young lady fishing from the pier.
We went to the Crop Over Festival in Queens Park Bridgetown on 15th July. This revived festival commemotates the gathering in of the sugar cane crop. Below is a photo of Jenny with the King and Queen of the festival. We also had a meal cooked at the park, chicken jerk We learned that the meat is left to dry in the sun. We hope it was protected from flies and any passing dogs!
