Visit to Barbados


We enjoyed a long weekend in Barbados back in February. We stayed at a place called Accra which worked out great.

We took the early morning flight and we were on the beach by 10 am.

We ate too much, enjoyed the beach, played tourist, met some nice people. It was a great break.


Note, this is not the Accra hotel - this is just a old house enjoying the tropical aging process.There is a promenade along the beach near our hotel....it attracts a large number of folks doing their morning walk or run. We walked it every morning.

We went into Bridgetown for a walkabout and lunch. It is a pretty laid back community.




The resort was set up very well and was that busy that it felt crowded. However, they were selective about where you put your feet up...

The local police force... have pretty cool police vehicles on the beach....
We treated ourselves to some nice dining (and drinking) while we were there.






I checked the local beer as well - Banks. It is very good.

I am not sure how many motorcycles they sell but the do have a Harley dealership on the island.

We are looking forward to going back.
