April 9, 2010 Bridgetown, Barbados
From New York to Barbados we’ve traveled 40345.9 Nautical miles & it’s day 95.
The exchange rate $1 equals 2.03 Barbados Dollars.
Barbados is an island that is 21 by 14 miles located in the far southeastern corner of the Caribbean islands.
The Noordam (the Holland American ship that was first cruise back in 1994) and the Caribbean Princess were docked on the QM2 port side. We watched them leave shortly before the QM2. What a beautiful sight!
We got caught by downpour going into Bridgetown. After the rain subsided some we continued viewing the city doing window shopping. We didn’t do as much as we had planned because of the rain. Jan got sprayed & soaked from behind apparently by a passing car & had to do laundry once last time. We met some Midwestern folks. They recently opened the Harley Davidson shop. Both had worked at Harley Davidson in Milwaukee. They seemed to be about our age and when they retired, they took on a new enterprise. I think they were glad to have some “local” folks to talk to. Arrival in Fort Lauderdale is approximately 6:00A.M. Look out USA, here we come!! Two more ports (of 34) & then Home!!!
