Barbados - Day 4

Today was the first day we had a hire car and we rented a jeep - how exciting!  We were glad we rented a jeep as some of the roads there was more potholes than road!

Our jeep!
Our first stop was Bath Beach- a beautiful, peaceful beach where we were the only people there!

We then drove up a bit further up the coast to Andromeda Botanical Gardens - which is a six-acre garden containing several varieties of orchids, palms, ferns, heliconia, hibiscus, bougainvillea, begonias and cacti. There were two walks you could do - we chose to do the easier walk as it was so hot and humid!  It was very quiet and it was only us and another group of 3 there.

After lunch we made our way up the East Coast road, stopping at Bathsheba beach, Cattlewash and Barclay Park - the scenery was amazing with massive waves rolling in (we watched people surfing) and huge rocks on the beach.  It was a lovely day and we really enjoyed driving around and stopping at different places to take in the view.
