Holetown beach

Our final full day. Decided to try Holetown beach which is on the right side of the pool. Down pass the happy hour bar. The snorkeling was very good here. There was 2 man made breakwaters that had tons of fish. Saw that there was snorkeling tour out further from the beach. We swam to them and the guides were feeding the turtles, rays and tarpon. First time we snorkel with tarpon, They are big and fast, probably about 4 feet long. A great way to finish our trip.

The airbnb and pool area had books you could borrow. We read a few this trip. This one was very interesting for me.












Tarpons, make the other fish look small






Back at the pool for a break


Small black crabs

And then back to Holetown beach for 1 last outing as it was great the first time around









One last visit to see the sunset




My favorite snack

Rum at the grocery store was good


A few last pictures for our travel day back home

Our small patio also served as our clothes line


The check-in area is open air

You can connect to smaller island from here.



A couple of pictures grocery shopping earlier in the week. 1 Barbados $ is 70 cents Canadian

From Home to Barbados

$7 Canadian for a dozen eggs. Most groceries were around 50% more than home but that is expected as it is an island

Payne Beach

Today we took the bus to Payne beach and rented beach chairs. This was supposed to be a good spot for snorkeling but not 100% sure the bus driver dropped us off at the right spot. We got dropped off at the Payne fish market. Got 2 chair and an umbrella for the day. Walked across the street to a bar hut for a couple of drinks. Had a very quiet enjoyable day at the beach.  The snorkeling was fair.
