Barbados

Yemsky

I unexpectedly will end up in Barbados for a few weeks in August. Apart from lying at the pool / beach what's recommended?
With Barbados being an old sugar plantation island I guess there will be little lush green areas as you would find them on Dominica or Jamaica. Still: any hiking trail suggestion?
Are there any rekkid spots left or is all the vinyl in private collections?

Spouge.

Ah, Wikipedia and YouTube turned out to be more helpful to understand your reply...

Oof!! Sorry wasn't trying to be cryptic just pressed for time. Barbados sounds great.

This is probably the greatest collection of Bajan (and B'dos WIRL / TREX) music online:



You can read an interview I did with Lew Kirton here:

No recordshops left - only cd's. It's going to take some work to find records there.

People are very nice. Have fun!

You can also visit the great Jackie Opel's grave while in Barbados. There's not much to see but it's a beautiful cementary though.
