Barbados is a magical mélange of hustle, bustle, charm, and class. Beneath a turquoise sky, and surrounded by aquamarine waters, this idyllic island is a solace for relaxation and a virtual mecca for active lifestyles and cultural pursuits. It is endless sun-washed, sugary, sand beaches and craggy, dark, underground caves. It is green monkeys and flying fish; reggae and karaoke; booze cruises and rum tours; beachfront hair braiders and spa-tacular hot stone massages.
Though
tourists flock to Barbados for its sandy beaches, coral reefs and rum swizzles,
it is the frequency of names like Trafalgar Square, and Yorkshire, along with
left-hand driving and roundabouts, that are constant reminders of the island’s
British heritage.
