Round The World and other travels

I woke up to another glorious day in Barbados, even though there had been a shower towards the end of dinner the previous evening. There was a big difference from the previous day : a large group of Brits, who were here in connection with some cricket event, were leaving for Antigua, with the effect that the hotel became near-deserted! Funnily enough, it had the effect of making me feel much more at ease. The previous day, for the first time in nearly six weeks, I had been very conscious of being on my own. Now, as before, it just wasn't a factor any more. Also, with such an overwhelming British presence the previous day, I felt I was much closer to home than I really was - it had been like somewhere in the Med. The photos show just how quiet it had now become (taken mid-afternoon!)
