Pudding and souse, hors d'oeuvre–style courtesy barbados touyrism marketing inc St Lucy Generally off the beaten path, this parish is the only one named after a female patron saint. Located at the northern tip of the island, the Animal Flower Cave welcomes numerous return visitors. In the cave, small brightly coloured sea anemones, biologically classified as animals, play hide and seek. After eating so much, the cave is a good, dimly lit place to swim, especially if you’ve developed a slight paunch. Above the cavern, souvenir huts, spectacular views, and the North Point Restaurant overflow with Barbadian and West Indian flavour. St Thomas Magnificent stalactites and stalagmites run through caverns in Harrison’s Cave. Deep inside, near the cave’s lowest point, is a forty-foot waterfall dropping to a blue-green lake. Outside, vendors sell souvenirs and local sweets. A hard candy made with molasses, coconut, and sugar melts in your mouth. But when you hear what it’s called, try not to choke. The controversial black bitch has been having this effect on people from time immemorial. Other local sweets include guava cheese, nut cakes, tamarind balls, and sugar cakes. St James Against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea, the districts of Holetown and Sunset Crest are your oysters. Locally known as the Platinum Coast — due to the abundance of upscale hotels, resorts, golf courses, and shopping centres — this stretch offers endless choices for fine or casual dining. The Tides Restaurant breathes life into your culinary sojourn with elegance, and across the road, Just Grillin’ Restaurant exemplifies the true meaning of refreshment after a day at the beach — or, in this case, a road trip. Grilled mahi mahi seasoned with Bajan seasonings and love is a crowd favourite. Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of DC United football player Wayne Rooney (formerly of Manchester United) leaving his villa when you’re in the area. St George When traffic gets heavy around the island, this parish provides ample back roads to reach your destination. The Bulkeley Sugar Factory is a major landmark, although it’s no longer operational. The Portvale Sugar Factory (in St James) is the only working sugar factory remaining in Barbados. They’d be happy to give you a tour. Meanwhile, early on Saturday mornings (6 to 10 am) the Brighton Farmers Market on Brighton Plantation has become the meeting spot for those seeking a good bargain, plus breakfast and coffee. You may find roast corn and breadfruit, with some mauby too. Come rain or shine, this open-air market supplies produce, artisanal products, plants, and clothing. n Caribbean Airlines operates daily flights to Grantley Adams International Airport in Barbados from destinations in the Caribbean, with connections to North and South America 78 WWW.CARIBBEAN-BEAT.COM
