Flight To Bardados - Visit Crane Beach - Fly Home

Saturday, July 27^th. FLIGHT TO BARBADOS – VISIT CRANE BEACH – FLY HOME

We were up with the alarm at 2:30. Had breakfast and got our stuff together. We were happy that Wayne showed up at 4:00 and drove us to the airport. He was polite but cool. I thanked him for driving us around and told him to tell his brother that we sorry that we didn't get the chance to say good bye to him. We were the first people to arrive at the airport and when we walked in we woke up the security guard who was asleep on a bench. We left our luggage and went back outside for the cool morning breeze and waited until check in time. The flight left on time (LIAT: leave island any time or last in air transport). We arrived in Barbados where Irnice and I said a very short sad goodbye to George who was flying on to Grenada. Then we picked up our luggage and went to departures only to find that we can't check in until noon. So we settled in for a long wait. Shortly after we met the Project Overseas group coming from Grenada.

Olive and Marie from the PO Grenada group arrived and wanted to go to a beach. So Irnice and I joined them. We hired a cab and he took us to Crane Beach. This is a huge five star resort with a beautiful beach. It even had an elevator to take you from the cliff to the beach. We hung out there for a couple of hours. I wave jumped in the rough surf (and sadly lost my yellow SVG bracelet that Jane gave me) and walked to both ends of the beach. One end had a rock outcrop and then another beautiful beach. The other side had a short walk along a rock cliff. We walked up to a restaurant in the resort and had flying fish sandwiches. Olive paid for her and her Marie’s with East Caribbean dollars, Bajain dollars and US dollars – really glad I wasn’t travelling with her.

Then we took the cab back to the airport and flew home. Danny picked me up and I was home by 9:30.
