December 13, 2008 – Barbados

It was a partly cloudy morning with temperatures in the low 80’s as we sailed into Bridgetown, Barbados. Already at the dock were Sea Princess, Seabourn Pride and a 5 Royal Clipper. The clouds soon disappeared and it became a typical hot & humid day. We had been here numerous times before so we took the 20 minute walk into town, wandered around for awhile and walked back to the ship. A special event for all cruisers, a polo match, had been scheduled but was cancelled due to recent rains turning the polo field into a mud patch. The replacement event, a high tea, was also cancelled due to the residence hosting it had another event take precedence and event number 3 was a visit to the Concorde museum which has an actual Concorde SST to look through. Going to that with 300 other people didn’t spike our interest so we spent the afternoon on the pool deck reading our books until it was time to go win trivia at tea time again. For dinner Jan & Harry Hufford invited us and 2 other couples to join them to celebrate their wedding anniversary and we had a grand time. After dinner we watched a classical pianist show.
