Day 8 – Pier One

I woke up and returned our car to reception so it could be collected by the car rental company.

We were all up fairly early, so after some coffee and a freshen up, we headed to Pier One in Port St Charles.

I did a bit of snorkelling, and I saw lots of fish and a sting ray. He had buried himself in the sand so you could only really see the top of him.

We just relaxed on the decking by the sea.

As we hadn’t eaten breakfast, we booked brunch for 1130am in the outdoor restaurant.

The food was amazing. I had blackened barracuda, followed by amaretto ice cream. On the table near us was an older lady. We got chatting to her, and she said she was 91 and had lived in Barbados now for 25 years. She apparently comes to the restaurant every day for lunch.

After lunch we visited the little gift shop, Whispers. Here we met Deliah, who owns the shop. She is a real character and a lovely person. We all ended up buying something.

We then laid down again in the sun.

After a while it started to get a bit cloudy, so we headed to the pool for a drink.

As we ordering our second cocktail, Deliah came to join us at the bar.

We moved over to the other side of the decking to catch the last of the afternoon sun.

As we were sunbathing, we saw some frigates flying above us.

Late afternoon we headed back to the apartment and watched the sunset from the balcony.

After some cheese on toast, it was time to head out again. We stopped at ‘Sip and Lick’ as they had two amazing singers, we thought it was music playing until we saw them. They had great voices, and their harmonies were spot on.

We had a little boogie on the sand, which was actually really hard to dance on! I also saw a sting ray in the water right close to us.

Once the singers had finished, we headed over the road to Joan’s as the steel drummer was playing again.

We met up with some of our friends from previous visits to Joan’s.

And then it was time to head home and go to bed.
