Two kids, 10 gray hairs later and I am finally returning to Barbados. Can't believe it has been 17 years since I last felt warm rays of sunlight piercing through my skin. Oh how I missed this island!
Just a few weeks ago we had the Top Gear Festival at Bushy Park, St. Philip. Although the event was just two days long, 17th and 18th May, the build up to it was amazing.
Polo, which dates as far back as 1884, is fast becoming a favourite sport in Barbados. Interestingly, activities which involve horses are growing in popularity here.
Barbados is one of the most exciting destinations in the world. In addition to its great weather and natural beauty, vibrant nightlife, fascinating places to visit and very friendly people it is an island known for sports activities.
Don't be fooled. There is much more to Barbados than beaches and sunshine. In addition to the culture, cuisine, rum and annual Crop Over Festival this island's beauty is second to none.
On Saturday 18th January Realtors Limited held their annual Race Day at the Garrison Savannah and I must say, a great day was had by all. The races were exciting, the crowd was loud and enthusiastic and the drink and food was flowing!
How many people know, I wonder, that horse racing in Barbados was started on the Garrison Savannah in 1905 and has continued there annually until the present?
