Is it really that difficult to cross Barbados' roads

I just watched some tourists trying to cross Barbados' roads...is it really that difficult? I don't think so. They looked as though they were preparing for a 50m dash....

Head to Barbados - beyond those beaches

Travel: "“People used to come here for ABC — All Bajan Cuisine. The place was famous for its Sunday lunches but it fell into disrepair around diners' ears,” says my hard-hat guide Graham Dear, one of the team that has taken on this seaside inn, now more than 100 years old, and turned it into a boutique guesthouse and restaurant for the 21st century."

Barbados is queen of the Caribbean

- The Independent: "Turquoise-coloured sea and beaches that live long in the memory are just a starter; add to this a warm sunny climate all year round, friendly people, infrastructure that is more first than third world and stable government and it's easy to see why Barbados still holds many in thrall."

Win a Trip for Two to Barbados!

Flavorwire "There’s nothing quite like February to make us long for an island getaway. White-sand beaches, turquoise sea, tropical flavors, relaxed luxury: yup, sounds pretty perfect right about now. Good thing Barbados has “mastered the art of fine living.” (They’re really not joking. Everything about this Caribbean paradise screams dream-island holiday.) Even culture vultures that haven’t honed the skill of just chilling out on the beach can find plenty of year-round cultural entertainment on this tiny island. From film and music festivals to fine dining and diving, Barbados keeps even the more reluctant beach bum entertained. (Who are you people?)"

Rihanna goes on stage with half her costume missing at Super Bowl pre-show in Miami

NYDaily News "Rihanna performed at a pre-Super Bowl event in Miami on Thursday night - too bad half her costume went missing before she stepped on stage.

The Barbados-born beauty - known for her, shall we say daring fashion choices - may have outdone herself with a catsuit that was missing one leg, a sleeve, and part of the torso."

Life is no walk in the forest for the Barbados Green Monkey

You always hear the stories of the Barbados green monkey frolicking in our lovely island and I guest it makes good tourist headlines and pictures but there is still a bounty out.

....Yes, Barbados doesn't know what to do with the green monkey since his natural habitat is becoming smaller and smaller.

I remember the old stories that my mother would tell me about Sandy Lane Woods and their experiences with the monkeys in that area.The woods have long time been replaced with golf courses and houses and it is like that all over the island.So what does it leave the monkeys to do...

Unfortunately the only solution so far has been to place a bounty on the tail of each monkey.

...Rough seas in Barbados...still

I think this is has been going on now...off and on, for about two months...really unusual

Nation News "HIGH SURF and small craft advisories are in effect for Barbados for the next several days.

This warning has come from the Barbados Meteorological Services.

Northerly swells will affect the exposed northern, eastern and western coastlines of the island. These swells will cause breaking wave action that will render the surf zone unsafe, by generating strong dangerous rip currents.

Beachgoers, surfers and swimmers were therefore urged to remain onshore along the exposed coastlines until hazardous conditions subsided."

Barbados Music Awards celebrate five years in style

The Barbados Advocate: "The fifth Barbados Music Awards was a fantastic event.

Patrons arrived at the Sir Garfield Sobers Gymnasium on Sunday night bedecked in the latest fashions for a five-hour show which paid tribute to Barbados’ music community, the late Michael Jackson and featured international star, Fantasia Barrino."
