Oistins Dos and Don'ts

rent a car and drive round Barbados, it is the most lush and beautiful country I have ever seen. The people are so friendly. And if you get a chance to get the bus into town, do it! we used to call it the reggae bus...you find out why!!!

Great night out! You'll meet the locals, other holiday makers and maybe even the crew who brought you there! Pop in to Mc Brides For a Rum puch a bite to eat and some great local entertainment and read the Signs on the wall for a giggle and if you are from Ireland check out the GAA Jerseys you will be impressed!

General bank of Barbados,.....

Fantastic scenery with the most beautiful beaches around the island. The local food such as flying fish, swordfish and steakfish is a most try! Going out is great go to Ship Inn, Mc Brides for some good fun.... If you want it quieter choose the west coast if you want more turists and going out and more restuarnts choose the south coast. Overall Barbados is a FANTASTIC place to go to!!!!!!!!! Enjoy it!

black rock in barbados is a great place. the whole island is a great historic lesson, with former slave plantations in the interior of the island, old houses etc. there are weekend trips on a public bus that goes around the island on sunday afternoon. it takes about four hours to drive around the island, and black rock is one of the points the bus goes through. barbados can be a hot place, so carry a bottle of water, and if you can visit in the cooler months, november and december, i'm told! it was so hot for me, and i had a cheaper room etc! so if you are loaded with lots of cash, you should have a great time on the island. its quite pricy, but its not very prohibitive.!! overall! excellent place really. a lot of history, its worth the heat!! and the culture, and music obviously...raga, reagae, calypso, and cricket!! nightlife is busy. try the st.lawrence gap on fridays and saturdays!! there is plenty of salsa too! and the premier league is shown in plenty of sports bars there!!
