We decided to have another relaxing day today.

I was up early, so I wrote my blog and had a coffee on the balcony.

After a while, Mags joined me and then we had a couple of little birds join us too. The birds fly in and out of the apartment fairly regularly.

I made us some plantain chips for breakfast. As I was making them in the kitchen one of the birds flew in and started pecking at the loaf of bread on the side, through the wrapper.

Following our leisurely start to the day, we wandered along the road and down to the public beach just by the bridge.

I did a bit of snorkelling near the rocks and saw some colourful fish.

For lunch, we went back to Joan’s Snackette.

We had very flavoursome chicken and rice and a tiny bit of salad, along with the local beer.

I couldn’t eat all of mine, so I made a new furry friend who ended up with the leftovers.

After lunch, we went back to the apartment and chilled for a little while. We started to plan what to do for the next few days as we have to book tickets for some of the places we want to go.

We then had a shower and slowly got ready for the evening.

Everything in Barbados starts early in the evenings. We got the bus into Speightstown around 5pm.

We wandered down to the pier and took some photos as the light was really good.

Speightstown is the second largest city in Barbados and is also known as Little Bristol due to the strong British presence in the area. Since 1630, it has been an important port for trade.

As the sun was starting to set, we decided to have a cocktail at the Little Bristol bar and watch it go down.

It was another lovely sunset.

After a couple of cocktails and a loo stop, we popped next door to Just Chilling for some food.

I had a salmon burger, which was delicious, and we also had a couple more rum cocktails.

We also saw Venus and Jupiter. They are the very tiny but bright dots in the sky to the left of the pier in the photo below.

By around 10:30pm, we were ready to go home, so we got a taxi back to the apartment.
