Barbados Wednesday. Sweets for the sweet! 11-13-13

The CoconutBaby is in complete vacation mode.

I sat on the veranda enjoying the cool November breeze and watching island life go by. 
Young children in pressed uniforms on thier way to school, the coconut vendor gathering his product from a nearby tree to sell at the beach, and locals on thier way to work or to town. Every person that passed giving a "Good Morning" as they pass. It doesn't matterif they know you, if you are there, they have to speak. One of the many awesome attributes of Island life.

Food for today consisted of leftovers from yesterday. Waste not, want not.
This evening though, I wanted something sweet so I took a walk to the local Haagen Daz for a bite. Even though we have Haagen Daz in the states, I wanted to see what they have and whether or not they would have flavors that I haven't seen in NYC. I wasnt disappointed. I was introduced to a flavor called Caramel Biscuits & Cream.

Ohhhh sweet ambrosia... It was awesome and gone before the walk back home ended. 
Once again, the ladies in the establishment took great care of me. They were attentive and super helpful. It is always great to meet people that take pride in thier job and always do their job to the best of thier ability. This trait seems to be engrained in the Bajan culture across the board. No wonder people never want to leave this island paradise.

Barbados Tuesday. Beach Day! 11-12-13

Everyone that comes to Barbados has to do atleast one beach day. Since I started my day on the South Coast, I decided to have my beach day at one of the nicest beaches in Barbados, Accra. I was told about a place call The Tiki Bar. I decided to give it a try. It was a great experience.

I rented a beach chair and umbrella for $30 bds which included rental for the entire day and $30 tiki dollars to use in the restaurant.

So after a day of sun, sand, and surf I ventured into the restaurant and had a "Catch of the day" fish sandwich (dolphin) and chips with a tasty rum punch on the side.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The Tiki Bar is a definite must do!
