Barbados

I think you hit the nail spot on about the mix of developed and undeveloped in Barbados. It’s actually one of the things I like the most about it here. And yes, unlike most places the ‘nice’ areas and ‘less nice’ areas here are really quite interspersed. I can’t think of any ‘nice’ area where you can’t walk 5 minutes and end up in ‘village’. Which is good I think.

I’m going to totally play into the stereotype of Bajaness and say, I haven’t been to the Beach in ages. At least 3 months - not as bad as a year! But I can swim. It’s true that most Bajans can’t swim, alot are even afraid of the idea of swimming. I wonder what the History behind that is. There’s the Caribbean folklore that if you go swimming on Good Friday that you’ll turn into a Fish.. or drown. But I doubt that excuses the other 364 days.
