Ā Ā Hi friends and welcome to Day 55 of this monumental, inconceivable and definly memorable blind sightseers tour….
Good morning friends! Yay weāre still at the š“Ā Southern Palms š“Ā
Ā Southern palms breakfastā¦š Ā
āWow, how nice are these bananas with a little fresh orange juice drizzled over them!ā i said as Sarah puts some fresh water melon next to me. āWhat a way to start the day, they taste so much fruitier and juicier than back homeā. Sarah loved going over to the numerous tables and getting fresh fruit, nuts and best of allā¦The coconut bread! We then walked over to the cooked food table where we ordered our fresh omelettes.šššš°š„„
But then…
DINGā¦DINGā¦DINGā¦šĀ
Yayā¦Thatās the sound of my (not Sarahās) āBlind Sightseers Gastronomic Leaderboardā bell again. This time it was for the nicest sausages iāve ever tasted. I have no idea what herbs and spices they used but itās right up at number 1 for sausages! š Ā
After being dragged (kicking and screaming) away from the sausages, we had a monumental walk back to our room (about 30 meters) as Sarah wanted to go for a swim. The pool was fantastic and not very busy! š Ā Ā
Ā There was always a cold fresh jug of water (with cucumber or lemon) available under an umbrella for guests to drink. It was a life saver for me who just boils to death the second i leave the air conditioned room. Being sat under an umbrella next to the pool, hearing Sarah splashing around and having fun with the view over the beach (see image below)ā¦It wasnāt the worst place to be, lol! 𤣠āļø Ā Ā
Sitting still is not the usual Blind Sightseers way of doing things but suddenly Ā i heard an airplane pretty close to us. I just pointed my phone towards the noise and i didnāt expect to capture anything, but to my surprise i managed to get the plane. My ears must be well calibrated! 𤣠Ā
Ā Sharkeyās Tropical Cafeā¦ā Ā
Ā You may remember from my ‘Barbados #1‘ post that weād had a walk up the āGap’ from our hotel to explore. We walked past Sharkeyās and thought weād try it another dayā¦Well now we are here! š We absolutely loved the incredibly bold and vivid colour scheme and it wasnāt long before weād sat down and had our iced coffees. We chatted with the man (making the coffees) and when he found out Sarah was diabetic he said āHey, i can make a special one for you! Itās good that you told me as nobody dies on my watch, lol! 𤣠Ā
Just when i thought this place couldnāt get any brighterā¦Sarah hits me with that amazing smile! Ā
Ā The Birthday Bajan Braides…
As we were on a ‘Full Day Island Tour’ yesterday, we didnāt have time to book Sarah into the on site hairdressers to get her birthday Ā braides. As you may know the wind here is quite strong (and cooling) so i already had my hair in braides, as itās my birthday 4 days after Sarahās. It was the same lady whoād done my braides and Sarah looked fantastic! š ā¤ļøĀ
Ā The evening…
Weād already had another lovely day but it was time for the evening meal. The hotel had a different band playing every few nights, and sitting in the restaurant next to the perfect postcard beach was stunning. Ā
Ā DINGā¦DINGā¦DING…DINGā¦š Ā
Yes you know what this meansā¦Itās my āBlind Sightseers Gastronomic Leaderboardā and something has just smashed itās way to the top, i wonder what it could be??
This one isnāt for the faint hearted but i donāt have enough hyperbole to do this justice! So iāll just introduce you to my favourite burger of all timeā¦The āSouthern Burgerā This is hard to write about without drooling. š I must confess that i ordered this on the first night and then for all 7 nights! Once youāve hit the top thereās nowhere else to go! š š Ā Ā
Ā The sunset…
Thankfully we walked along the beach for the sunset before we had the evening meal. We always knew exactly what time to leave for our daily beach sunset walk as the ‘Bajan Whistling Frogā would start singing at the same time every night! šĀ
š“ The āSouthern Palmsā and Barbados was already our fave place and island and weād not even been here a week. As the sun set on another fantastic day i wanted to leave you with this stunning view. Ā
Ā Iād like to say that iād set up a tripod, set the self-timer and walked into position, But (you guessed it) Sarah āTop Trumpedā me again with this beautiful photo! š Ā
Thank you so much for taking time to join us in Barbados, but itās still not over yet! š Ā
Have you ever been to Barbados? Iād love to hear about it!Ā
Weāll meet tomorrowā¦Same timeā¦Same place for another adventure!Ā šĀ
