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 Yet what originally made the island so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.
