Another beautiful day.A beautiful wet rainy day in Barbados.As I said before I am one of those fellows who loves rainy days.This morning me and my daughter had a long lovely walk in the rain.It seemed as if we were the only two people in Barbados on this day.People disappear in Barbados when the rain is falling,people don't go to work,school children stay at home.Bajans have this thing about the rain.I can never figure it out.

Along the way I passed a garbage truck,you know the trucks that are used for collecting refuse;anyway it was parked at the side of the road while the workers sheltered from the rain.I passed an army of school children sheltering from the rain ..........

In Barbados the worst thing that can happen to you is to get wet by the rain....it will give you bronchitis,pneumonia you name it......unless you are like me.

Never let it be said that you can please all the people all of the time...but you certainly can please some of the people some of the time Tampa Exotic Travel Examiner: "While I wouldn’t recommend Barbados for travelers on a budget or as a one-day wonder, its west-coast resorts are great for an extended stay. The pink- and white-sand beaches are world class, and most hotels offer outstanding cuisine with top-notch (and expensive) restaurants available via cab on a reservation basis. My wife Kelly and I stayed for three nights at the lovely Treasure Beach Hotel (www.treasurebeachhotel.com) about two years ago. Our villa faced a pool shaded by gorgeous trees, and only a few feet beyond the beach and Caribbean Sea. During our stay we enjoyed golf, fishing and trying new cuisine such as a flying fish sandwich (I didn’t like it). By all means consider Barbados in a Caribbean itinerary, but I’d pass unless it’s part of a package deal that includes a few more interesting locations (like...
