I'm sure you know the drill by now. White sand and warm blue sea.
There were lots of stuff to play on in the sea which was a short swim out.
Now here's the thing. I'm absolutely terrified of sea. I'm ok till about my knees then after that I don't want to get in any further. But I really wanted to go on the trampoline which was a little bit further away that I am comfortable with.
So I did what any girl who is about to face a challenge does.
I fixed my ponytail and went in.
Taking lots of deep breaths and swimming like hell to get to my destination. I did get extremely panicky at one point, but I just kept taking deep breaths.
And then.
I made it.
Yes that is me standing up on the yellow and blue ring which was a huge trampoline.
It was such an amazing feeling that I managed to actually make it without completely freaking out so I rewarded myself with a drink - naturally.
One frozen pina colada and I sat in the sun taking in what I had actually done.
Then I was reminded by my stomach that it was lunch time. Mam and I made our way up to the Boat Yard restaurant and put in an order of a prawn wrap to share.
The food at the Boat Yard is reasonably priced and is very good as are the cocktails.
As it was happy hour the cocktails were on 2 for 1 and after these 2 I was starting to feeling extremely tipsy. So an afternoon nap was most certainly on the cards.
I fell asleep in a busy beach in Barbados where the sun was shining and no one had a care in the world.
I woke up to the sun setting and it almost being time for me to head back to the UK.
I don't have any plans as of yet to head back to the Caribbean, but I will. I don't know when or whether it will be on a cruise ship or not but one thing is for sure the Caribbean is one of my happy places in the world and I love it. The people, the food, the islands everything is just so special.
This is my last Caribbean cruise post. I hope you've enjoyed reading about my time there.
Till next time Barbados.
Boat Yard - Barbados
