It’s summer time in the Northern Hemisphere and for Barbados that means Crop Over, lovely days on the beach, staycations on the island and locals generally enjoying the paradise we live on. Unfortunately it also means the start of the hurricane season.
It was only two years ago that deadly storms ravaged many islands in the region. Many of us don’t want to be reminded but it’s important to remember that it’s the reality of the Caribbean and although Barbados has been lucky, it doesn’t mean it can’t be us next. With this in mind we should be prepared! We are repeatedly told this but I wonder how many of us do it? Thanks to Edward Childs for his follow up article on how Tortola is moving on two years later. A very positive view of how human begins can spring back from disaster.
But on a more positive note, there are beautiful properties on the island to have an amazing summer holiday . Get away from the heat onto one of our glorious beaches. You can rent a Villa and bring the entire extended family or just have a break in one of our apartment hotels or all inclusives. I recently did this at Cobblers Cove and it was truly special. They have a terrific summer rate on and if you value peace and quiet (no TV’s in the rooms), great food and service and a get away from it all, this might be somewhere you would consider!
Barbados is just paradise! Enjoy every moment!
