Located in the heart of Speightstown, just a stone's throw away from the famous Fisherman's pub is Speightstown pier. Currently under construction the pier cannot actually be explored, none the less it really is a beautiful sight to behold. Running far into the ocean you can just imagine all that happen on this pier, from proposals to picnics. We anxiously await its re-opening so both locals and travellers alike can once again experience it.

This Northern attraction is the only reserve on the island, some may call it a zoo but we think reserve is a much better and informative term. The Wildlife Reserve has been open since 1983 and is run by Jean Baulu along with his friendly and hard working staff.  To give you a little background on Mr. Baulu, he is a primatologist and came to Barbados to study the behaviour of the monkeys and assist in controlling the population of these animals. They ended up assiting the Government and stabilizing the population and in the meanwhile created this santuary. 

A couple weekends ago Melanie and I decided to stay at The Crane Residential Resort to have a bit of a 'time out' and see what the resort was all about. We both have been there prior, however not since all of its additions and extensions. It is simply amazing that such a beautiful, luxurious and 'complete' resort has such charm and history attached to it. Not one of those cookie cutter models, evidence suggests that the Crane Residential Resort is in fact the oldest operating hotel in the Caribbean Region, and its beach, well is 'to die for' of course.
