Farewell Barbados

We went out on a hobie cat this morning. The water is glorious and I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to get out on a watercraft during our vacation.  

I’m having my final beverage, while we wait for our cab to the airport. So sad to leave. šŸ˜©

I wanted a souvenir so I went out shopping at the Chattel village. I got Rik a T-shirt. I found a top but I couldn’t make up my mind so, by the time I decided I wanted it, some other chick snapped it up. Darn.  On my way back to the resort I got caught in a downpour, but it’s so warm here, I wasn’t cold.  Just wet.  I stopped at a wobbly-pop shop to look for some sipping rum.  I got help from the store clerk as I had no clue what’s good (seeing as we missed out on our rum tour at Mount Gay).

I had great luck this time and saw all kinds of different fish. Pink ones, purple, yellow, stripe-y, translucent ones and schools of thousands of minn...

What a large day. I slept in until 11am.  (I’m still recovering from a bad cold. Plus, lack of sleep yesterday). I awoke to the sound of mourning doves. The property Monica and Andy have rented is in a peaceful community. They have lovely patios on both sides of the house.  Monica made reservations for us at 12:30pm at an opulent restaurant on a seaside cliff.   Chelsea Clinton and her family were at the table beside us. They had two Filipino nannies with them to mind the children. šŸ˜„ We were on the top floor overlooking the band. Here’s a picture of Monica and Andy trying to start a dance party with Chelsea and her two buddies blocking the way.  They eventually moved and we joined our friends on the dance floor.  We spent 5.5 hours(!) at this place, having delicious food, tropical drinks, fine wine, enjoying the view and dancing the day away.  The band was amazing and they loved the Canadian couples who set the tone for the rest of the crowd. We had so muc...
