Day 4 January 13-Barbados







On Wednesday we stopped in Barbados and Wes and I took a way overpriced taxi ($20) to Payne's Bay Beach, a mere 10 minutes away. I didn't like our taxi driver either. He was way too pushy. By the time we got to the beach, I was kind of in a bad mood from the not-so-great vibes we had been getting from our taxi driver. We hung out on the beach and relaxed and played in the ocean, and then it was time to go. I did not want to take another taxi, so we decided to take the local bus back to the ship. We waited at the bus stop and a bright yellow bus OVER-FLOWING to the brim with locals, pumping Reggae music pulled over and we got on. It was a very interesting ride and by far the best part of the day. The driver was crazy. I thought the bus was going to tip over a couple times, or we were going to crash into other cars. I was smashed into some guy's armpit almost the whole ride. And the whole time, the reggae music played. The best part of the ride? It only cost us $3 bucks to get back to the ship. We loved it!
After dinner that evening, we went to the show and they played a game with volunteers, so I got up on stage and made a fool of myself running around playing some dumb game. I guess it was kind of fun though.

Looks like you had a fun time. I told Wes we will have to go with you sometime, but it looks like I'll have to lose some weight first.

You inspire me to lift some weights, look at those muscles.
Looks like a blast, now I need a vacation ;)
