2 Travel adventures Barbados

Cruise 2025 Caribbean

21 januari - 7 februari 2025 (18 days)

The transfer to the airport is at two o’clock. This means we still have time to stroll through the capital of Barbados. We were here last year as well. We walk along the waterfront toward the city. Dozens of times, we are asked if we need a taxi or want to do an island tour. We pass the beautiful colonial building of an insurance company, walk through the shopping street, and arrive at the parliament building. A tour can be taken here for five dollars, but we don’t have much time. We continue to the cathedral. On the way back, we misjudge the time by an hour. As a result, we return to the boat earlier than planned. This gives us time to enjoy a drink on the upper deck.

A Caribbean Cruise

29 februari 2024 - 16 maart 2024 (17 days)

The old historic center of Bridgetown is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The city lies on a sea inlet that flows into the Constitution River. We see the colorful colonial houses. At the local fish market, some fish are still being cleaned, but most stalls have already closed. Bridgetown is a much larger city than Scarborough, which we visited yesterday, and it has more to offer. At Trafalgar Square, fallen soldiers are commemorated. For this reason, the square is also called Heroes’ Square. The square lies in front of the Parliament building. The guards allow me to take a photo, but I’m not allowed onto the grounds. Parliament is in session today. They don’t mind whether I take the picture with or without them in it. They are also kind enough to point me to the cathedral — a typically English church from 1662.
