FOOD FOR THOUGHT
As you may expect from a nation of islands, fresh seafood
is a staple of most menus in the Caribbean. Barbados
in particular is famous for Oistins Flying Fish – an event
which takes place every Friday serving freshly grilled fish
such as tuna, swordfish and mahi-mahi. There’s also no
shortage of fresh vegetables, herbs and spices to bring
dishes to life, especially in Mexico where traditional
cuisine incorporates key ingredients such as rice, avocado,
beans and chilli. Be prepared for a flavour sensation!

Barbados
Of all the Caribbean Islands, Barbados is the one that
remained British throughout its colonial history. Still
occasionally referred to as ‘Little England,’ it displays
an endearing set of British quirks and traditions, from
afternoon tea to horse racing and cricket (something of
a national obsession). Fortunately, the British weather is
not among them. Instead, visitors can look forward to a
balmy, tropical climate cooled by mild sea breezes.
Barbados is one of the most developed Caribbean
islands, which means it has an excellent infrastructure,
a strong choice of exclusive hotels and an abundance
of exceptional restaurants. It’s also densely populated,
although you are only aware of this in the capital
Bridgetown. The east coast is less developed and
popular with surfers with its dramatic waves, while the
west coast is best for swimming. English is the official
language but the more flamboyant local influences
pervade local life in the crafts, art, literary works and
the cuisine. But one of the most important things that
make this such a wonderful place are the delightful
Bajan people, warm, open, funny and kind.

Antigua
Antigua is one of the sunniest islands in the eastern
Caribbean, blessed with hundreds of soft, sandy
beaches. It’s also the region’s top watersport
destination.
The commercial capital, St John’s, is a hive of
colourful, sun-bleached wooden shops and
businesses lining narrow streets. It is also entirely
walkable – from the waterfront south to the National
Cricket Stadium just outside the city – in about a
quarter of an hour.
Other main sights include the almost always
deserted Sandy Cove in Nonsuch Bay, Devil’s
Bridge, a remarkable coastal arch on the north
eastern point and Half Moon Bay, possibly the most
beautiful of all Antigua’s beaches.
Ask anyone for directions to Shirley Heights, rising
above the harbour, for the most panoramic of
Antigua’s views, savoured from the comfort of a
small restaurant. It’s also worth renting a car or
a driver and exploring the island’s more remote
corners. Whatever you choose to indulge in, there’s
always the time in Antigua.

Saint Lucia
Les Pitons Small is beautiful they say and Saint Lucia is no
exception. Located mid-way down the eastern
Caribbean chain, between Martinique and St.
Vincent and north of Barbados, Saint Lucia is just
27 miles long and 14 miles wide.
This is the kind of island travellers to the
Caribbean dream about – a small, lush tropical
gem still relatively unknown, where the Atlantic
Ocean kisses the eastern shore, while the
beaches of the west coast owe their beauty to
the calm Caribbean Sea.
There is a broad array of exciting activities
available on Saint Lucia. The coasts and
reefs offer excellent snorkelling and diving
opportunities while the rainforest and mountains
are one of the Caribbean’s finest locales for
hiking and birdwatching.

Dubai
Flashy, fun, flamboyant, Dubai is one of seven
sovereign sheikhdoms that form the United
Arab Emirates. A Bedouin wilderness less than
a century ago, it is today famed for its sun,
sand and duty-free shopping. Not to mention its
staggering wealth, displayed for all the world to
see in its glamorous futuristic skyscrapers.
Anything’s possible in this ambitious, glitzy city;
massive man-made islands; championship golf
courses in the desert and ski slopes in one of the
most arid corners of the planet.
A fantastically friendly place, Dubai boasts some
of the world’s most exciting and luxurious hotels
as well as some of the most expensive. Next
to these giants of capitalism, traditional Arab
courtyard houses, ornate mosques and souks
can be found, intriguing hints at this
fast-changing region’s origins.
