Saturday, July 27th. FLIGHT TO BARBADOS – VISIT
CRANE BEACH – FLY HOME
We were up with the alarm at 2:30. Had breakfast and got our
stuff together. We were happy that Wayne showed up at 4:00 and drove us to the
airport. He was polite but cool. I thanked him for driving us around and told
him to tell his brother that we sorry that we didn't get the chance to say good
bye to him. We were the first people to arrive at the airport and when we
walked in we woke up the security guard who was asleep on a bench. We left our
luggage and went back outside for the cool morning breeze and waited until
check in time. The flight left on time (LIAT: leave island any time or last in
air transport). We arrived in Barbados where Irnice and I said a very short sad
goodbye to George who was flying on to Grenada. Then we picked up our luggage
and went to departures only to find that we can't check in until noon. So we
settled in for a long wait. Shortly after we met the Project Overseas group
coming from Grenada.
Olive and Marie from the PO Grenada group arrived and wanted
to go to a beach. So Irnice and I joined them. We hired a cab and he took us to
Crane Beach. This is a huge five star resort with a beautiful beach. It even
had an elevator to take you from the cliff to the beach. We hung out there for
a couple of hours. I wave jumped in the rough surf (and sadly lost my yellow
SVG bracelet that Jane gave me) and walked to both ends of the beach. One end
had a rock outcrop and then another beautiful beach. The other side had a short
walk along a rock cliff. We walked up to a restaurant in the resort and had
flying fish sandwiches. Olive paid for her and her Marie’s with East Caribbean
dollars, Bajain dollars and US dollars – really glad I wasn’t travelling with
her.
Then we took the cab back to the airport and flew home. Danny
picked me up and I was home by 9:30.
Can't wait to walk those beaches. Thanks for sharing your St Vincent PO project.
