After a whirlwind day in Atlanta we were up (yet again) at the crack of dawn to board a flight to Barbados, where we would spend an evening before arriving in Paradise. Thankfully all went as scheduled and our flight was on time and ran smoothly.
Here we are in the Barbados open-air airport.
These pictures were taken right before we jumped in an unmarked cab (an action we were warned against taking on our way out of the terminal). We live life on the edge. Thankfully we were transported safely to our dwellings for the evening: The Meridian Inn.
I knew this place would not be fancy, however I was able to pay for it with American Express points. Since it was currently the "high season" in Barbados there was no way to find an affordable hotel for the evening. While our place had it's own "charm" one might say it was really just a step up from Youth Hostel. I kept telling myself it was only for one night.
That afternoon Jürgen took a dip in the ocean, and we walked to a small restaurant about 10 minutes from our mo...a hem...hotel. We had a simple dinner of local fish and local beer. A small kitten approached us begging for food, and since we both go weak in the knees for kitties we fell prey to its batting eyes.
It was about 8:00 when we finished dinner, and after two days of little sleep and much travel it was time hit the hey, which is exactly what we did.
