Barbados

Today's port of call was Bridgetown, Barbados.  Once again, the excursion was a coach tour of the island.

To be honest all these Caribbean islands are much of a muchness.  Antigua had some historic forts and Nelson's dockyards, but with most of them there's  not much to show us apart from beaches and pretty views.   The only buildings they could find to show us in Barbados were the house Rhianna grew up in (the street has since been renamed as "Rhianna Drive") and her new house (a 32 million dollar mansion).  The major difference between Barbados and the other islands is that it's a lot flatter and therefore the roads are better.  The rum punch was also much stronger than on Antigua.

Bridgetown is obviously a popular cruise port as there were 4 other cruise ships in there at the same time as  us.  One was a huge MSC ship, then there were 2 Costa cruise ships and the little German one on on the end....
