While in Barbados, we decided to rent a car. Yikes!!! They drive on the left side of the road with the steering wheel on the right. That's also how they drive in Dominica, but neither of us have driven here. Kyle took it slow at first and glued himself to the left edge of the road. He also did what my dad always did on vacations with left side driving and turned on the windshield wipers nearly every time he meant to hit the turn signal. That made us laugh quite a few times and brought back some fond memories of family vacations in Europe.
On our road trip we visited the Banks brewery, the beer of Barbados.
It typically comes in a plastic bottle, like Pepsi. We thought this was kind of strange. The only time I've seen beer in a plastic bottle is at sporting events.
We also stumbled upon a cigar factory. It was comprised of several cubicles with women working away at very specific steps in the cigar making process.
Drying tobacco leaves.
Every Friday night, in the town of Oistins, they have a large fish fry. We were told by many people that it was a must while in Barbados. We went, had a great time, and enjoyed some yummy seafood.
We even ran in to some friends from Dominica.
It was a great day and we were so glad we rented a car. It gave us a whole new perspective of Barbados outside the walls of our resort and beach.
