Go downtown to old part . There is really neat stuff there. They drive cars like the one's you see on fantasy island tv show.

"Just Veg out on the beach" she says something about a submarine ride at night too.

You lucky man. Have a great time.

I did a cave tour there about 10 years ago.  It was a nice break from basking on the beach.  You got to see all the stalagmites and stalactites in the cave.

Thanks All!!
Great trip. Did a thing called "Snuba" The air tank is on a raft on the surface and you have 20' of air hose. Much better than snorkel and no certification hassles like a full scuba dive. Saw a couple of very kewl old shipwrecks.

Antigua would still be my first choice but Barbados was fun. Will get the underwater camera film back in a few days but here is a couple of shots.

Dave, think I met half of the population of the UK there :-)

Well what did you expect . Barbados, like the US, is part of the old Empire you know."The sun never sets and all that..." And we Brits do like to go to places that are familiar and remind us of home.
