On day 8 we decided not to venture to far as I had not been well in the night - we took a drive along the South Coast and walked along one of the beaches before returning back to sit on the beach in front of our hotel,which was nice and relaxing. I went for a swim in the sea and the waves were quite big - when I was trying to get out I stumbled when a big wave knocked me over and dragged me on to the beach - when the waves went back in to the sea I was lying face down on the beach with a ton of sand down my swimming costume - luckily Peter didn't see it happen! I had to have a shower when I got back to the room as my front was covered in sand (more sand in my swimming costume than on the beach!).

On day 9 we went to the 'Barbados Concorde Experience' at the Airport - Concorde used to fly regularly to Barbados (3 times a week in the peak season) up until all concordes were taken out of service. BA then gifted Concorde to Barbados and so we did a tour of plane! It was very well done as they showed us a film and then we were allowed on to the plane.

Afterwards, we drove on to Oistins, the fishing village where we had been to the fish fry earlier in the holiday, to have a look around, and then drove up to Rockley Beach to look around the shops and have some lunch.

We are flying back today and have really enjoyed our time in Barbados - the people are friendly and there is a very laid back, chilled out atmosphere which makes you want to do the same! We have had a good mixture of relaxing and sightseeing - I am glad that we rented a car as it gave us the freedom to go where we want but we have never been on such bumpy roads!!!
