Here's what I did in a week and a half in Barbados
Feb. 24/17
Today was eventful cause our fight to Toronto was suppose to be at 7:00 pm ish but kept on getting cancelled and delayed until about 11:00 pm ish. It was all because Toronto was having a big thunder storm so I'd definitely wait for 4 hours than get struck by lightning. The flying was pretty good except for the fact that I had bubbles and a bit of turbulence. When we landed we headed straight to the hotal which is connected to the airport. Then there were a lot of Z's.

In order to have breakfast this morning we had to wake up at 6:30am and if we had known that the lines to check luggage were terrifyingly long then we wouldn't have took our time getting over to the airport. All and all we still had half an hour before boarding the plane to Bridgetown. The flight was a good four hours, so there was plenty of time to watch a movie or two and get some homework done. When we landed I could feel the warm salty air on my skin. After getting out of the airport we rented our moke and drove over to our rental house. We relaxed for a bit until my dad went to pick up some family friends at the airport who are staying with us during the trip. We went and got some groceries and some dinner, dinner consisted of kfc.

We didn't start the day until later on because we were still trying to get used to the sound of roosters and goats waking us up at 3:00am. We eventually made it to the beach we swam and surfed until we were exhausted. Dinner was a plate full of spaghetti.

We woke up a bit later today and had a nice breakfast. We then drove to Hunte's Garden, the plants and flowers were amazing. I would definitely recommend going there if you happen to come to Barbados. After three hours of looking at plants and having a chat with Mr. Hunte in his tree house, we headed off to Bathsheba beach. The waves were so nice.

Today was a chill day because I didn't want to go to the beach because my 2nd degree burn needed a bit more time to heal. Later on in the afternoon my sister and I had a little photo shoot. There was also a pretty sunset as well. Today's dinner was baked chicken and potato wedges from Chicken Rita's.

I woke up and had eggs and bacon for breakfast. Around 12pm we decided to go surfing so we headed down to the beach. The waves were a pretty good size and I caught about 5 or 6 good waves. We headed back home and had a delicious dinner consisting of fish, mac pie and salad.

Around noon we headed over to Accra beach and did some boogie boarding. The group split up, we went and got ice cream from Moo's Treatery. The other half went and got two more people of the group from the airport. We then stopped in at cave shepherd (duty free store) and had a look around. We ended up getting a post card to send to my cousin back in Canada and a sticker for our guitar case. The thing is we get a sticker for the case every time we travel somewhere. For dinner all eight of us went to My friends place which had the best burgers ever.

We went down to beach once again but we snuck over to the Ocean2 pool and ordered milkshakes. We were just a group of six for dinner because the other two had sun burns. The six of us went to Bert's Bar for dinner. We had delicious pizza (I had six slices of pizza). For desert we had a giant piece of cherry cheesecake. We would've gone to the fish fry but it was raining all day.

This morning I was feeling artsy so I created a bear out of pancakes. One larger and two smaller pancakes covered in peanut butter and banana slices for the inside of the ears and part of the nose. The eyes and nose were made out of broken up pieces of chocolate cookie. Today was the gold cup horse race (a big deal) so we watched for a hour just to see what it's all about. We then headed to the beach for a swim. The sunset tonight was amazing so my sister helped me once again with a sunset photo shoot. For dinner we went to the fish fry. I had flying fish which was delicious.

Today was a true adventure because we started off by venturing over to sandy land to a. Snorkel for turtles and b. spy on famous people. Snorkelling took an hour and a half. We saw a bunch of cool fish and coral but we couldn't find any turtles. We went over to a family friends house for dinner. They have a ten month old baby. The dinner consisted of bbqed chicken, salads, mac pie and garlic bread (it was all delicious). The drive over the there was amazing because the sunset was beautiful.

Today was a little bit sketchy but mostly fun. It was sketchy because we went to the part of Barbados where not a lot of stuff happens. We drove to the tip top of the island, to animal flower cave where we could see the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The cave opened up so we could see the water. We also swam in the cave, the water was cold but it was probably the coolest swimming experience I have ever had. At 1:00pm we met up with the Segway people and learnt how to drive a Segway (look at the slideshow of all the places we saw on our Segway tour. On the way home we stopped by th fish market and bought some dolphin (Maui Maui) for dinner.

We got an early start today, everyone was up by 8:30am. We headed down to the beach and I went for an hour surf. I came and had some lunch then we all went over to the pool and swam around and did different games and challenges. I then went out surfing for another hour or so. I then came to shore once again but this time it was because I had a headache. I then joined my parents fo one last surf. Dinner was spaghetti, a typical Barbados dinner.

We spent our last hours in Barbados at the beach and doing a bit of shopping. We eventually we went back to the home to shower and pack all of our stuff up. Then there was a 5 ish hours of plane travel ahead of us. We got back to our Canada home at 1am and the worst part is that I had school the next day. So I feel fast asleep.
