Why not listen to this Reggae classic whilst reading of today's Tour happenings?
Wow! What a day full of experiences.
First of all, to those who have thanked me for running the Blog I just offer the words I've heard most often in Barbados (apart from "You guys ready for taxi service?") - "You're welcome".
Secondly an anonymous quote: "Flying fish? What's going on? You're either a fish or a bird, make your mind up!"
In theory another day of rest but the whole Tour party has been out on a catarmaran cruise along the South coast of the island today with the fantastic guys at http://www.jammincats.com/ The Lancashire boys need no lessons in how to work as a team but the boat crew, all mad as a barrowload of monkeys as far as I could tell, would set a pretty good example! Part of it is being Bajan and enjoying the relaxed island lifestyle I'm sure but "Jolly" Roger and his crew made the experience memorable; nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile and/or a song and/or a dance (as you will see!).
So we enjoyed swimming with turtles (a protected species in Barbados), which is undoubtedly one of life's great experiences, and snorkelling amongst the fish on 2 shipwrecks; a fantastic lunch, an "all inclusive" bar (and you didn't have to ask for a drink - they just kept coming!), reggae and other music, dancing, and some "Limein'" (Bajan for chill time).
The afternoon ended with a tropical storm but it's now hot and humid again! The supposed appearance of Mel B (of The Spice Girls, not the Real Mel B from the Tour Party!) at Dover Beach has yet to materialise.
A mystery trip out for the boys tomorrow then back home on Easter Monday.
