One of the island’s treasures I spoke of in my last blog is Harrison’s Cave. Located near the middle of the island, it is a quiet, tranquil respite from the busy coast. We decided to take the walking tour of the cave which is only offered on Saturdays. Our tour was scheduled for 4:00 PM and since we are not yet proficient at calculating the amount of time that it takes to get somewhere with public transportation, we gave ourselves plenty of time and ended up arriving about 1 ½ hours early. That turned out well however because it was a lovely area with trails to follow

and a lot to see. On the paths there were signs describing the land formations

and dense flora

and interesting fauna of the area.

After walking and taking lots of pictures, we sat at a picnic table drinking a “Banana Boat” yum, and watching the monkeys playing along the cliff walls.

The cave tour started promptly at 4:00 and there were four others (a family from Jamaica), our guide, and us – a nice sized group. The tour took almost 2 hours and was great!

  

 

 

 

 

Well worth the effort and another and different taste of Barbados.
