2017 Barbados Trip
The corporate office recently flew me out to Barbados to stay at the Hilton Barbados Resort, Bridgetown for a little R & R. There was nonstop entertainment from the minute I got off the plane. Starting with the cab driver named Basil(pronounced Baazil) who insisted that the steering wheel on the right side and driving down the left side of the road was the correct way(we have it backwards in the US. LOL!); to the mischievous green monkeys at the Wildlife Reserve who took one of the travelers passports and ran up a tree with it(it took them about an hour to coax the little guy down with some food). I enjoyed some delicious food and met some really nice people. If you’re ever in Barbados, make sure to check out the Barbados Wildlife Reserve, Harrison’s Cave, and Grenade Hall Forest & Signal Station. And make sure to use Andrew Maynard of Ambitious Tours & Taxi Services for all your transportation needs. Andrew was a great tour guide and very reasonably priced! Click here for more pictures.
The resort had huge palm trees and beautiful pools
Another view of the ocean from the 6th floor
There was some entertainment at Oistin’s Fish Fry Friday evening.
The view at night was amazing as well.
We visited Harrison’s Cave on Saturday
Beautiful underground rock formations
Underground waterfalls as well
More pics of Harrison’s Cave
Even looked like some ice formation in the cave
The country side was beautiful
Beaches and ocean everywhere you looked
I had to partake in a bit of coconut
The restaurant we ate at was ocean-side on a cliff
The side view of the restaurant
The oldest church in Barbados
St. James church
Another St. James Church picture
Sunday was the Wildlife Reserve and the green monkeys
The monkey was looking to get my sunglasses
Signal Station Grenade Hall Forest and the Wildlife Reserve were all in the same area
The Wildlife Reserve
Not sure what type of animal this was
Turkey
They fed all of the animals at 2pm
I tried to sneak up on one of the green monkeys to steal his food
More animals
There were gators in the reserve too
Don’t feed the monkeys
Don’t pick up the turtles
He who held the food was the monkeys best friend
I tried to blend in with the monkeys
I think this tiny little guy was the one responsible for the passport theft
Beautiful beaches and oceans everywhere
Back at the resort
Pool
Just relaxed at the resort on Monday
