    GENERAL INFORMATION

This was a 9-day tour based on the West coast of this friendly Island. The touring party headed up by Andy Sweeny were located in air-conditioned apartments on a complex that has a pool, restaurant, bar, supermarket and evening entertainment. Barbados offers an irresistible mix of laid-back Bajan lifestyle, where the tropical sun is fanned by the trade winds together with a host of sandy beaches dotted along the coastline. It used to be known as “Little England” and although the island has enjoyed 30 years of independence a warm welcome is always shown to its British visitors. It also has an incredible nightlife with many venues such as the “Boat Yard” and “Harbour Lights” offering unlimited free drink promotion nights once an £8 - £10 admission fee is paid.

FRIDAY 18TH APRIL

Having assembled at Gatwick for the 11.15 hours departure to Barbados, the Virgin Atlantic flight took approximately 8 hours and they arrived on the island at 15.00 hours local time. After a short transfer to their accommodation the group soon found themselves with the choice of relaxing by the pool or on the golden sands, which are within walking distance.
