Yo Matt like many others I stumbled accross your vids but I'm so glad I did. I'm a born and bred Londoner but my parents were from Barbados and I lived out there from 16-21 yrs old and have visited the island countless times. I have not been recently due to covid but I have to say I really enjoy your vids. They bring back many, many sweet memories for me. I am very impressed with your knowledge of the island (you obviously do your homework) and your presentation style is 'spot on'. I love the fact that you and your lovely parents are exploring the non tourist spots and mingling with the locals and not just lazing on a beach. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with that and Barbados has many, many unbelieveably gorgeous beaches but it also had a lot more to it as you guys are finding out. Keep up the good work. Btilliants vids.

When I was went to Barbados I went to a bar in Baksters Road and they were twice the size of the one's you get from Chafet, I also got fish cakes from a lady that sold herbs in front off a Bakery they were yummo. Loved the food and the people in Barbados, love also swimming in the Caribbean Ocean🙂💖

Just you saying that that the fishcake was 'doughy' tells me that it was NOT the best fishcakes. Should be light and fluffy. Unfortunately sometimes they give you anything and say ' authentic' when it's really just the the ppl they work with. From a Bajan in America.✨💯✨...🌹

I stayed at the Sandals resort in Barbados. The resort was a lot different than actually touring Barbados. It seemed like half their population worked at the resort and depended mainly on tourists to visit. We were told by workers in the resort that we were safer outside the resort more than the locals because they knew we were their source of $$. Which I found interesting. Hope you got to visit Rihanna's old house and new mansion.
@georgejackson7798 Жыл бұрын
@LA, that's like saying you're going to Aspen to ski even though they have no snow. Tourist season peaks and fall so they hire additional help, etc.. Where is the other half of the population???? At Sandy Lane and Hilton😂😂😡
