Special 4A—Clinton News-Record, Thursday, October 6, 1.97 GLOBETROTTING With Hermon BARBADOS, TUE GEM OF THE GOLDEN CARIBBCAN Planning on going on a winter holiday but don't know just where to go? Only five hours flying time from Toronto is Barbados, which has been famous as a holiday is- land since 1887 and may be en- joyed by all, The chief charm of this island is its variety and the friendliness of its people. Your hand has too many fingers to count the days the sun never shines, and it is impossible to spend a week without obtaining a sun tan that will be the envy of all your stay-at-home friends, what- ever time of the year you choose Barbados for your holiday. Most Canadians, of course, visit Bar- bados during our harsh winter months of January, February and March, which is the time my wife and I decided to go. It is one of the greatest destina- tions I have had the pleasure of visiting, Calm and unspoiled, Barbados seems to be blessed by nature's own hand. Miles upon miles of white sand beaches, sur- round a land of great charm and natural beauty. There is also the delightful contrast of the calm waters of the Caribbean on the one side and the wild exciting surf of the Atlantic on the other. And because of the coral forma- tion of the land, drinking water is purified by a natural filtering process and needs no boiling be- fore drinking. I think one of the most delight- ful things of any trip is the many new places you see and the differ- ent cultures you encounter along with meeting and making new friends. Barbados was first claimed by the English and many traces of English culture and his- tory is noticed as soon as you ar- rive Qt1 this beautiful island. Some of the things my wife and I noticed were the many place names, in the red brick buildings bordering the Garrison Savan- nah, in the market town atmos- phere of Bridgetown, the capital city, with its Trafalgar Square and Harbour police dressed in the uniform of Nelson's day. We be- gan our tour of the island at his- toric Bridgetown, but nowhere is the mellow magic better seen and felt than in the wonderful coun- tryside with roiling hills and the lush loveliness of the fields of sugar cane. The entertainment of Barbados was also a pleasant surprise for us. There is considerable night- time entertainment of the native dance and calypso; big band beat and combo; moonlight nights and beach barbecues and such other things as crab racing, floor shows and do-it-yourself limbos, I tried a do-it-yourself limbo, and be- lieve you me the next morning I could barely get out of bed. Need- less to say I spent a very quiet, relaxing time soaking up the beautiful warm Barbados sun the following day. One of my favourite pastimes, and I'm afraid it shows, is eating. There's nothing I like more than to sample the cuisine of the places we visit, and if you're any- thing like me you end up saying, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing"! When you're in Rome you do and eat as the Romans do, and so when you're in Barbados you eat as the Barbadians do, The local cuisine features such delicacies as flying fish, lobsters straight from the sea, crane chub, pepper pot, suckling pig and seaeggs. . , sounds good doesn't it? It really tastes a whole lot better than it sounds. I think this is one of the many pleasures to be enjoyed howeVer, when travelling, and strongly suggest to you that wherever your travels may bring you, that you sample the local cuisines. If you're staying in Barbados you'll have time to participate in many of your favourite hobbies and pastimes. Personally I like to golf, (my wife doesn't) and so one day we went our separate ways, I went golfing and she, naturally, went shopping. They have some lovely golf courses in Barbados, however, I won't tell you too much about my game, as it's nothing to write home about. But when it comes to shopping my wife is a real "pro". , . as most women are. For the ladies, let me say that shopping in Barbados is both simple and attractive. For many years the island has come to be regarded as the Caribbean show- case for the finest consumer -1-REvoR -r#E oRP 7--/e4rr/c sogy5 goods from all parts of the world, and for Canadians who will be taking their purchases back home, shopping is all duty free. I won't go into all the many ar- ticles and goods which can be purchased in Barbados except to say that my wife spent most of the day snopping in the many Broaa Street department stores and in the smaller mops where she purchased some ,ioeskin gloves, a casnmere svAreater. some hang-workea locai em- broideries. some costume jewel- imagine 10 days/9 nights in wonderful Honolulu for only $344.00* per person. It sounds almost unbelievable because it includes your air fare and accommodation at Waikiki Travelodge and transfers to and from Honolulu Airport and continental breakfast daily and a sightseeing tour of Honolulu and Pan Am'S package of 20 surprises. Leaving Toronto any Thursday via Air Canada and Pan American. Also available, a 15 day/14 night Honolulu holiday staying at the Reef Towers Hotel and priced at only $423.00* per person. etarktErg 4r iviv4r our or .siffrr island. Barbadians take special pride in looking after their visi- tors, and this was quite evident everywhere we went. This claim is not extravagant. The Barba- does' motto is "Pride and Indus- try" and Barbadians have every reason to be proud of what they can produce and what they have to offer. If you want to get away from it all this winter, if you want two weeks of fun, sun and relaxation, I can certainly recommend Bar- bados to you as a great winter holiday destination, 00.:020:0:20:00:0.:022".:4r:021C:0:,0:0:10:0 2tr0 0:0 A7:00 :00-...0 :01A,LE Here's Another January Sale Special from the • lery, not to mention a choice of sophisticated P .rench perfumes, • plus a raft of smaller items as gifts for friends and relatives „n back home, Let me advise you men, it's much cheaper in Barba- dos to go golfing than to send your wife on a shopping spree, All in all we spent two of the mostor life delightful on t relaxingg reatc ,,b ri weeksb e aonf u cmusrmAs Gins sToRE TV 14' ,44,4,4,4414,4,4444/4.a.to.
