Barbados is an infectiously happy
island, with beautiful beaches, balmy weather, and a delightful British flair.
As a result of its successful sugar economy starting in the 1600's, you'll find
large manor estates full of fine mahogany and antiques, along with gaily painted
frame houses--the essence of the festive Caraibes. Rum still is popular in
Barbados, and cane plantations have divided the landscape into a pretty
patchwork of fields, coconut and royal palm, breadfruit, oleander, and citrus
trees. |
