Barbados, situated in the southern Atlantic, is the most easterly of the Caribbean islands, set off on its own as though wanting to be different. It surely is, this “Little England,” as some call it. After more than 300 years of British rule, Barbados, independent since 1966, is a delightful mix of pretty Colonial architecture, quaint gardens, proper British etiquette and endless cricket, intermixed with West Indian and African colors and culture. Throw in a tropical climate and miles of white sandy beaches and Little England becomes, well, a little different than other Caribbean islands but one to be experienced. I’ve had it on my bucket list for years and at long last.
