Must See Things In Barbados
by Eleanor Ramsay
 Barbados
is a great destination to visit on your holiday to the Caribbean. Barbados
lies in the southern Caribbean, close to the South America continent. The
climate is tropical, with mild temperatures kept bearable by the winds
off the Atlantic Ocean. The island has the nickname 'little England' owing
to the stamp that the British left on this former colony. The national
obsession is cricket - like many other former British colonies in the Caribbean.
This suits the relaxed lifestyle of Barbados.
Barbados is more than just
an island in the West Indies. It's almost a way of life, synonymous with
exclusive hotels and fashionable restaurants. Barbados has one of the highest
standards of living in the world. Yet what originally made the island so
popular - its coral sand beaches, turquoise waters and warm, friendly people
- is still very much in evidence. Even the tiny chattel houses retain their
positions alongside the luxury West Coast hotels, ensuring that the island's
natural charm is never sacrificed. Barbados' winter social scene continues
to rival London's, with its stylish collection of West Coast restaurants.
There are some good venues to try on the South Coast too, as well as some
lively nightspots. This is just one reason why being independently mobile
is always a good idea here. Another good reason to hire a car is to explore
the island, in particular the East Coast where you'll find the island's
most dramatic scenery. Alternatively, take a helicopter trip, a VIP escorted
tour, a day aboard a luxury yacht, or perhaps an island safari. It would
be impossible to describe Barbados without mentioning the game of golf.
The design talents of Tom Fazio and Robert Trent Junior have been used
to optimal effect on the championship courses at Royal Westmoreland and
Sandy Lane.
A holiday to Barbados gives
you the best of both worlds... relaxation for those looking to unwind and
plenty of activities for the more active.
