BARBADOS SUN!

Barbados
75 F, Sunny—a few sprinkles of rain

For some reason we are late again as we approach Barbados. I hope it isn't that propulsion thing.

We joined Donna and Lawrence for a short ride to a beach recommended by our driver, near Branson Beach. ($5/pp-one way) The fine, white sand and azure, warm waves certainly were inviting. The sun was blazing brightly-this would be a good beach day!  Since trees were sparse, I asked the attendant for an umbrella and lounge chair ($10 for me) and I stayed in the shade. Donna, definitely a sun seeker, enjoyed every ray. TK loves water and he floated in the waves for a very long time. Lawrence is very fair, and this day he got a little too much sun.

Barbados is an island of coral—we saw lots of coral on the beach and actually there was a monument made of coral in honor of the work of Barbados’ Coastal Zone Management. After 3 hours of sun, we were ready return to the ship.


Tonight we ate in the Lido Buffet, which serves the same selections as in the main dining room. The butternut squash soup was excellent, better than Panera Bread’s sweet version, and that was my dinner. Because we dined a little earlier, we were able to catch another “Dive In Movie,” Guardians of the Galaxy, #2 . There certainly was a lot of action and despite its PG rating; it certainly had a lot of innuendoes and language.  There was no rain tonight, the seas seemed calmer, and we could see the stars while watching the movie! The luxurious blankets Carnival provides for the movies are sure comfy.
