I have only been to Barbados on a cruise. We hired a driver and said "Show us the parts of your home that will make us want to come back." She took us to some of the historic churches and to Bathsheba on the east coast. I would love to go back there. Wild and removed from the hustle bustle of the west coast. Beautiful island!

GrahamJ has been quite informative but just a little update. The Carib Beach Bar is currently closed and under new ownership, they have been bought over by the popular Tapas Restaurant owners and they are promising a new and improved "Carib Lounge". Though there is a possibility that the refurbishment maybe completed by your visit (not started yet) you could supplement this with Crystal Waters Beach Bar...a stones throw away. Crystal Waters is a VERY laid back beach bar with live music and great barbacue on Sundays (1:00 pm onward) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Crystal-Waters-Guest-House-Bar/291554090856736Most of the time you will find turtles here in this sheltered lagoon as the local fisher folk feed them daily. I know your schedule is hetic for the limited time here, but PLEASE take a trip over to the East Coast (Bathsheba), you can get a bus from Bridgetown (1 hour in each direction / US $1.00 per person each way). Even if you do not stay there, just take the round trip (buses usually stay at the turn-around point for about 10-15 minutes to collect locals) and most of all take your camera...you will be blown away by the beauty of our east coast. Hope this little bit of info helps and welcome to our beautiful island...in advance https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...e=3&theaterhttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...e=3&theater

I'm thinking Anguilla is a little too tame for someone whose screen name is 'Crazy'. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hi again, yes the buses run on Sunday but the schedule may not be as frequent. Unfortunately on the east coast there are no farmers markets etc, however there are two <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> restaurants within walking distance in opposite directions to the turn around point at Soup Bowl. Round Hose Restaurant (5 minutes walk each way)- http://www.roundhousebarbados.com/Atlantis Hotel (12 minutes walk each way) - http://www.atlantishotelbarbados.com/My preference would be Round House, mainly because of the scenery overlooking high performance surfing at soup bowl which usually has some massive waves in November (associated with cold fronts coming off of the US) and their more laid back atmosphere. Please remember Crystal Waters for the late Sunday afternoon/evening live DJ's..Mr. Impact - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xhdCgN_kNg and local entertainer Andy Ingram <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/band.gif" alt="" /> .
