If you on your summer leisure time are off to beaches in West, the Barbados is one of the best place I say. Its not to far from Famous Florida or from Puerto Rica. Flights are no problem to reach there. Its a small curved line stretched between Puerto Rica and Venenzula in atlantic ocean in which Barbados and many other small coral Islands are there.
Barbados is nothing but corals and underwater thrilling mysteries and playing. You are gone to Barbados for no other main reason than crystal Blue water. At nights you have much things stored for you to enjoy. No worries even if you are calm couple, Barbados will be fit for you even then.
The main things you will notice at Barbados will be pure heavenly blissed beaches, Kensington Oval cricket stadium, St. Lawrence and special Fish fry on Fridays.The currency which is there is Barbados $ (B$).
TO tell you about beaches, west beaches is mild and gentle with all sort of people doing diving,swimming, getting in touch some turtles ans water sports. Its truly multi-beach place with great time to go on. Here you will find colourful reefs.
At day time there is nothing as sporty as at Kensington Oval stadium playing and watching cricket. History of this small Barbados at Plantation house.
Nights i say no better than St. Lawrence with party clubs serving beers, having nice yummy sea food, music show and all this is in huge crowds. You can be here all night with your footsteps showing salsa.
The best i suggest is going through two or three at a once location because going only way for only Barbados maybe quite expensive. So take 2-3 surrounding islands or go there only when you are near it. Don’t go too much specially for it. But its worth going any way. Don’t worry about temperature, its humid and a bit hot but mild all year out.
I read the newspaper and got aware to tell you that going out to Caribbean might be difficult. The reason is lack of proper planning and administration at low economically islands like Lucia and Trinidad & Tobago. The crowd this time is pushing up quite a lot due to easy restrictions and reaching facilities and ICC fears that would create them problem specially for accommodation.
The hotels there aren’t enough to accommodate this huge crowd going to reach out there. Also security question has arisen for people and lack of smoothness at this event is noticed too.
So before hanging yourself for each delivery of season ball, check out that you are all way comfortable. Tickets are now also allowed at last moment.
I was in Bahamas last month and to say best beaches in Caribbean and i suppose its should be titled as B.M(beach master). So did i take Bahamas full advantage of sailing and exploring the group of islands the Bahamas have. The currency is Bahamas dollars (B$) and currency exchange is possible easily.
You can get there in a local airlines flying there. Let me tell you where Bahama is exactly located. Its located south of Miami(Florida) and north of Cuba exactly. Its only an hours flight i suppose from Florida’s tip. So try getting there from Florida or Cuba or even Jamaica is best. There are many airlines flying among this small isles of Caribbean.
It has more than 200 pure white and truly untarnished white sandy beaches with lovely wriggle of crystal pure beach water. M heart goes at some other world truly seeing the most master blaster beach in the world. It seems like no one has ever sighted it or touched it - its that much pure. You can sight out clear sunny bright sky from seashore. The best seashore Bahamas has. Its known as coral reefs of south to Florida state.
And this cays are more than 700 in number. Bahamas is surely worth going and visiting place in best Caribbeans resorts.
Cricket, the world half mad on this 7 letters. Media has been investing on this like anything for getting noticed and viewing people matches through their communication. So has copyright deals and partnering has given a most historical major boost in ICC booty.
This game has turned out to be too much commercial with its copyright to be sold for $500M, larger than ever and overtaking football & soccer too.
This is surely gonna fill players and people associated with crickets pockets.
Can you or someone else tell me who will win? No, not this time as all teams seems to be equal and most best players out with some or other knee,ankle,finger,toes,etc. injury and teams have now been arrived at their places in caribbean and are all ready and fit to shoot out and grab fame and money worldwide.
Will see who wins and who loses. Can’t even say Australia or S. Africa nor India - Pakistan or hosting West Indies. It depends on time spot performance. Luck will play an important part in this World cup.

One of Tobago’s part the Rain forest and this isle make us perfect for relaxing. As i told you earlier that Bird watching is classic and most interesting.Try your hands and i am sure you will get most species out of more than 200 varied bird species.
You will be watching whales and turtles in moments as its a bit more popular here. Argyle waterfalls and fishing village or small town known as speyside is best for fishing activities.
Beaches have attracted white and black both anywhere and the same applies with Tobago too. You got some fantastic beaches with bird seeing. You have all lot of sea food and specialty dishes at Restaurants and bars there. Try going to Englishmen Bay and this is a gem of this isle located on the border of the Rain forest there.
Another place of interest is Pigeon point and Man O War beach bay is simply sandy superb for me.
This little tobago is mostly sanctuary of birds. You can go to Seabird sanctuary. You will find many coral reefs offshore too making your diving and thrilling snorkeling easy. People are here all normally enjoying way and get too much lively on sunday night to rock out with Soca rhythms at feet. This happens at a grand street band party which is known there as ‘Sunday school’.
This tobago has got a shit local departure tax of TT$100 which is equal to 12 GBP and i am getting innerly bankrupted paying this tax at each islands. You can reach there by flight or from Trinidad & tobago where local caribbean flights roam frequently.
