Barbados!

So I turn 21 this month and my mum turned the defining 50 the month before, so to celebrate such milestones in our lives we jet-setted off to the Caribbean and to the amazing island of Barbados.

Barbados is a small island, with its size able to fit into London! With that, we were able to take a tour of the whole island in a jeep safari, go underground in Harrisons' Cave and explore the variety of beaches the island has to offer with its white sand and beautifully blue waters.

We stayed in Bridgetown, a fairly quiet area with many tourists but also many locals which made us feel more at home. The people of the island are so warm and friendly and I certainly was sad to say goodbye to many of the bellboys and bar staff at our resort!

On our final day, we toured the factory of Mount Gay Rum and if you haven't tried their great array of rums, I definitely recommend. They go so well with coke and some ice or you're feeling hardcore, by it's own.

I certainly recommend anyone thinking of flying across the Atlantic to visit this beautiful place to go for it as it is a place that certainly leaves a stamp on you and makes you wish we had such lovely weather here in cold ol' England.

To more sun in 2017!
