Weird, and both former brit colonies. Barbados is a very small Island and 80%of the locals rely on tourism as their sole income so know not to bite the hand that feeds them.Also a lot of Bajans are very Christian.I know 4 different older lads who's parents came from Barbados along with my missus and her siblings who's mum and aunts came over as youngsters In the 50s and all have very strong Christian beliefs and do their best to be very good people.Shes told me that when we go to Barbados that I'll notice straight away that if we go into a sho or market that the locals will rush to look after me as a white person before the go to help her.Wheras in Jamaica there'd be a lot looking to rob me first and then if they heard her English accent Rob her too. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loved Barbados, Oistins fish market when they have the speakers on the street, brilliant food, all the locals out dancing, drinking in the shacks...great place.. Been to Antigua last 2 years, lovely place, we never found great food, but some average local stuff... very friendly place, had great times with the locals fishing, cooking up on the beach etc.. Got married in St Lucia, beautiful place but not as friendly as Antigua or Barados... Regards a cruises, wouldbt be for me i don't think, I like to bugger off and do what I want, walking round old towns and people watching is half the fun on holiday for me.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have only been on an all inclusive twice. once was a last minute "teletext" booking in Kenya Ivory Coast. Good fishing, didn't like owt all else, even the weed was shite, lucky I had some back up. The next one was one of my brothers weddings in Cyprus and other than loving my family, I hated it. Being fairly well travelled, I usually wing it. Flight, cash/card in the pocket, fishing gear (that has been more of an issue recently) and bosh! Love a camper van. I have a high top Transit with a bed in the back, fridge, food making equipment and a bucket to have a piss in if needed. I also have a T2 1972 Dormobile, that I'm looking to cash in. Saying all that, I had my first 3 week holiday last April, Tobago, too hot, fishing was shite. Went hunting with locals for Iguanas. Caught 2 that I thought was well small.
