Mar 18 Barbados, West Indies

Yeah! Today was a chance to get off the ship. Sam is on the island of Barbados in the West Indies. Bardados was a colony of Great Britain (England) until 1966 when it was given its independence. They are still part of the British Commonwealth. Barbados has the same temperature year-round (low 80’s mainly) even during the rainy season. It is not a volcanic island so there are no earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, there hasn’t been a hurricane hit the island since 1955. There are some really high-priced resort areas and a nice golf course. This is the island where Tiger Woods was married. One of the hotels was host to Oprah Winfrey and her show for a week.

Sam had his picture taken with a pirate that he saw in the terminal at the port.  

The excursion that Sam went on today was riding a Segway around the northern part of the island. Sam got to ride in the front of the Segway in the bag.  It was fun!

 

Barbados is surrounded by the Caribbean Ocean on the west and south and the Atlantic Ocean on the east and north. Sam liked seeing the Atlantic Ocean on the north coast.

 

There was another nice sunset today.
