Barbados. Review

Tourists pour into Barbados from all over the world, drawn by the delightful climate, the big blue sea and brilliant white sandy beaches. Many of them rarely stray far from their hotels and guesthouses, but those who make an effort find a proud island scattered with an impressive range of historic sites and, away from the mostly gently rolling landscape, dramatic scenery in hidden caves, cliffs and gullies.
        Tourism plays a major part in the country's economy and revenues have been put to good use. The infrastructure and public transport are first-rate and there is no sign of the poverty that continues to bedevil some Caribbean islands. Development has mostly been pretty discreet, many of the facilities are Bajan-owned, there are no private beaches and no sign of American fast-food franchises.
Now you come take a bite!

Getting there:

By far the easiest and cheapest way to get to Barbados is by air.

The majority of British and Irish visitors travel on some sort of two-week package tour that includes a charter flight to the island. Alternatively a few airlines offer direct scheduled flights from London, while some require stopovers in the US.

There are no direct flights from Ireland, but there are connections via London or via New York and Miami. British Airways, Virgin and BWIA all fly from London. Visitors from the US have a good number of options. BWIA flies non-stop out of New York, Miami and Dallas; American Airlines flies non-stop from NY and Miami, while Air Jamaica flies out of LA, NY, Chicago, Miami and several other major US cities. Vacation packages, including airfare, accommodation and sometimes meals, can be very good value.

There are no direct flights from New Zealand or Australia, and package deals are few and far between. Travellers from these countries will need to fly to one of the major US gateways and pick up onward connections from there.

Bathsheba

A kilometre or so north of Andromeda you'll reach a crossroads; the east coast road continues straight on, a left takes you towards Hackleton's Cliff, while a right drops you down into Bathsheba. Picturesque, easy-going and washed by Atlantic breezes, this has long been a favoured resort for Bajans, though surprisingly few tourists make it up here. Small holiday homes and the odd rum-shop line the roadside as it runs along beside the sea.
