Review of Bridgetown (Barbados)

Bridgetown Barbados, well what can I say. I have been to Barbados 8 times and am so enamoured by the Island that I have bought land out there and brought home a stray dog from there too! The pace is very slow and laid back which takes some getting used to at first. We regularly go to Bridgetown, you can get a taxi, or just take the cheap bus, it only costs about one and half dollars, but it is not for the faint hearted. If you are staying at an all ...
...is good, you go to Bridgetown for it and go under the sea in a submarine, not for you if you get claustrophobic though. You can just drink the water straight from the tap, it is very pure. There are lots of sugar cane estates dotted all over the island. The rainy season is from June to October, we have been during rainy season and there were just some heavy showers that were over quickly, although I do know people who have had rain for the whole ...

Review of Bridgetown (Barbados)

Bridgetown has still got a colonial air about it, around Bridge Street and it is a very prosperous place, with vestiges of the empire with The Royal Barbados Yacht Club and similar bastions of the Empire. As well as the Kensington Oval, one of the World's greatest Test Match Cricket Grounds, there is a race course at Garrison Savannah, and a wide range of shops, with many tax free jewelers. In addition to this Bridgetown is home to many of Barbados' ...

Bridgetown does however also have a rougher side to it, and there are some problems with drugs and violence, although not generally in the city, and as such it is still safe for tourists. As such there is not that much to see in Bridgetown, but everything you need is there. ...

...down the main road in Bridgetown you pass countless jewelry shops and many designer clothing stores, but this time you really can afford to go in - Barbabos is TAX FREE!!

Review of Bridgetown (Barbados)

It is truely difficult to actually put words down that can give Babados credit. The people are very laid back (almost horizontal), friendly especially if you have hair that can be braided. The air is hot when you step off the plane, and is takes a moment for your lungs to adjust, but the warm of the sun on your skin is magical. The island offers everything that you could want, white sandy beaches, warm clear sea, wildlife and breathtaking scenery ...
...on almost every trip available, from Deep sea fishing (Dont go if the sea is rough - Just take my word it is not worth it if you get sea sick!!) to horse riding, even swam with turtles and snorkled with the fish. I found hugh shells, no further than 10 mtrs from the shore and hired a car twice in order to see the whole island. It is recommended when hiring a car, that should you get lost, DO NOT panic and stop to ask for direction. Continue driving, ...
