Location
Barbados is the most easterly located of the Caribbean islands sticking out into the Atlantic in isolation. It is located south of St Lucia and north of Tobago. The island has the best airline service from the UK with many carriers and frequent flights.
Shopping
The capital Bridgetown offers good shopping with duty free and you can buy virtually anything in this well developed country. Good buys are alcohol (rum in particular), wood carvings and clothing.
Geography
Barbados has two contrasting coastlines. To the south and west the turquoise Caribbean sea calmly laps the shoreline of sandy beaches whilst on the east side the Atlantic thrashes against the coastline with the island taking the full brunt of the waters journey across the ocean.
History
As with many Caribbean islands, the first inhabitants were the Arawaks who spread to the islands from South America with them being driven out (or eaten) by war like and cannibalistic Caribs.
Climate
The Caribbean is subject to a hurricane season which is officially from 1 June to 30 November. However 80% of the stormy weather activity occurs within the August-October period with its peak usually being early-mid September. The centre of most storms miss the region moving off to the north, with others causing only minor disruption to weather conditions. However, there are usually a few each year that will pass through the region in hurricane force wind conditions.
Language
English is the official language although a Bajan dialect is locally spoken.
Currency
Barbados Dollar is the local currency although US$ are usually accepted as are credit cards in hotels and many restaurants and shops.
Electricity
110 volts AC 50 Hz.
Banks
Opening hours Mon-Thur 8am-3pm, Fri 8am-1pm and 3pm-5pm.
Driving
Driving is on the left. Main roads are well maintained with the main highways having a maximum speed limit of 55mph.
Time difference
GMT -4 hours (-5hours in summer).
Tipping and local customs
10% is generally expected in restaurants and by taxi drivers and is often added automatically in restaurants and hotels.
Water
Bottled mineral water is recommended.
Tourist information
www.barbados.org
Visas
No Visa is currently required for British or Irish passport holders. This should be re-checked on booking for any changes. Six months valid passport is required.
What makes it so special?
The world renowned laid back Bajan welcome and service with a genuine smile. The hotels are of a high quality with good facilities and cuisine. There is plenty to do out and about on the island and eating and socialising outside a hotel complex is not easier anywhere else in the Caribbean.
Where to visit
Bridgetown is steeped in history and is great for spotting all the names of places originating from the English influence over many centuries.
