Yesterday me, Peter and mum-in-law Carole flew in to Barbados - we had a good flight but we were one of 3 big planes that arrived at the same time and it was bedlam at the airport! It took us 2 hours to clear immigration and customs and get out of the airport!!
We were glad to finally make it to the hotel and after unpacking and a quick rest we went out for a dinner and had our first rum punch of the holiday (it is the law to have at least one rum punch a day whilst in Barbados!)

Tiredness hit us all during the meal as our bodies thought it was 1am because of the time difference so we were all tucked up in bed by 10pm!
After a good nights sleep we were up early (6am!) and I enjoyed having my cup of tea out on the balcony overlooking the beach. This morning I had booked a gospel breakfast at one of the secluded hotels on the Island - it was about a 30 min drive through the countryside and small towns to get there and it was nice to see 'ordinary' life with people going about their daily lives, such as queueing up for the bus in their Sunday best on the way to church!
The gospel breakfast was lovely - the hotel looks over a beautiful beach - and we sat eating our breakfast whilst listening to singers singing gospel - I found it quite moving and really enjoyed it.
For the rest of the day we chilled out at the hotel - catching up on X-factor (it has to be done!) and then lunch by the beach followed by relaxing for the rest of the afternoon under a coconut tree on the beach - I even went swimming in the sea!
