The shuttle was provided by H. Stern in Ipanema. We were given an enjoyable self-guided tour with head phones, followed by a salesman giving gifts. He didn’t pressure us & showed the retail jewelry shop. After looking around we walked a couple of blocks to the beach. We walked along the beach on the sidewalk with curvy designs and did an about face to take the shuttle back. Gloria & Lloyd were at H. Sterns also. After lunch Jan went out to check out the shops on the dock. Arrival in Bridgetown, Barbados is approximately 9:00A.M.
