Day 51 - 2 - East Coast - North Point and pilot a Concorde

During the way back I stopped at the Concorde Experience Museum, just beside the International Airport. A nice and really interesting tour. Especially when I realized that this supersonic airline idea started already in 1956, then only in 1976 Air France and British Airways began their flight with passengers, after about 7 years long being tested without seats.

It's nice to see how the cabin is inside and how small all the airplane is... during the visit I even tryed to pilot the Concorde... hhmmm during the flight was not soo difficult but... by the time I had to land in Barbados... well this is the result!


Monday I'll flight back to Maui, with one overnight to NYC...
Talk to you soon

Day 51 - 1 - East Coast - North Point and pilot a Concorde

Hi there,
this morning I drove to the East coast to see one of the best part of the island of Barbados.
There are a lot of trees (coconut and bananas), plants, and the vegetation grows everywhere. If you want to visit this place take a small map with you, as there are many roads, but only 2 of them come to the right place.


After a small lunch I went to visit North Point, where the ocean swell meets the coast after thousand and thousand miles.


Nice view and nice coffee shop literally covered by Business cards glued on the walls... (I can't even find my old one... so I put another one. In case you would come here... check it out!).

Day 50 - Dinner to Chicken Rita

Hi there,
last night I went with some friends to one of the best places (well... not for the environment...) where to eat chicken here in Barbados: Chicken Rita's.

She cooks the chicken with some spices and herbs inside, boiled and then fried at the end... really good and tasty.

Me and Tara!
Some Beers.. BANKS Exactly!!!

Rosy... from Ravenna!


Maurizio from Sardinia...Thanks to my friends for the nice evening.
Aloha,

Day 49 - Bridgetown and southeaster Coast

Hi there,

in this "holiday inside the holiday", the wind is never missing, blowing every day between 20 and 25 knots, but I'm here just to relax and organize everything for the new work season, which will start on March 10.
Many news this year at SEATEXBOARDS, new parthernships and much more... reveal in few weeks!
A slight cold yesterday kept me at home to work, but in the afternoon, I managed to swim at Miami Beach: here a small video. It's incredible how clean, transparent, turquoise and warm is the water here in Barbados

Today morning I spent most of the time around the capital Bridgetown and in the afteroon I went to the southeastern coast.
These are some of the hundred pictures...

Drive Slow, Sailing Fast...

Day 47 - Barbados Action...

Hi there,
today a very good wind was blowing on Barbados and that's the reason I cruised around to visit Silver Sand and Silver Rock. Here I met a old friend who showed me his "deAction" center, nice and really "busy"...
After a pleasant conversation I walked along the beach towards the Mistral Club located at Silver Sand. Things never change here, but a lot less people than few years ago. Especially windsurfers - infact it was packed of kiters.
