Bob & Jan Green RTW

We have now arrived in Barbados and met up with Bob's sister and b-i-l, Margaret and Mick. The weather so far has been very hot, with the occasional shower - the humidity being 90+ (very sticky!!). Consequently we have had to drink lots - we know it should have been water, but the rum here is very good and very cheap!! Anyway, we need to anaesthetise ourselves so we don't feel all the mosquito bites!!!

The cricket so far has been good fun, although England managed to drag it painfully out! The Australia vs Ireland match was all over by lunchtime and we didn't manage to use all our drinks tokens - 8 per match each (we tried!!).

The evenings here don't start until 10pm and the music and dancing goes on very loudly until 3am or later!!! Still, with enough rum .....!! Can you see a pattern emerging??

We have one more week in the sun and four more cricket matches to endure - I mean enjoy, that is if England get their act together and the others don't!!

The knee is slowly improving and Jan is managing on one crutch most of the time (although with the rum 2 are necessary!!). Haven't done much sightseeing, just lazing around on the beach or by the pool on the days in between the cricket. We were thinking of doing a tour of the rum factory, but can't find the energy yet!!

It's a hard life!!!!
