A day in Speightown for my buddy's 20th bithday

I know it has been almost a whole month since my last blog but i am here again i hope everything with my readers is going well. anyway back to the task at hand one of my main guys birthday was April 12th  he had turned the Big 20 and we spent piratically the whole day together we had really and truly wanted to go Cattlewash beach which is located in St. Joseph quite beautiful i have to go there sometime but we ended up in Speighstown.

May I just say the bus ride to Speigshtown is long and they're quite a  few sights to take in that makes it relaxing and you almost tend to forget how long the ride is, we caught the Pie Corner bus and was on our way we passed many parks and beaches  one major beach and facility which is often used for School Tours, Picnic or just an ordinary beach day with friends is Folkstone  there is also an recreational park, basketball court and tennis court our trip continued as we also pass the secluded and very private area of Sandylane, the bus then to pass Holetown which is a one of Barbados's Gems there's a lovely 'Jus Grilling' located there as well for all my seafood fans they don't only offer fish but a different variety of foods and not to forget their special called the Catch of the Day it has a lovely ambiance at night. I would know been there for my 16th birthday man did i have a blast anyway  we eventually made it to Speighstown alot busier place than Holetown bought lunch ate right infront of the  the beach under the promenade.

yup this is the view we had at our disposal

After we ate lunch we then heading to the beach in Speighstown which is like 5-10mins walk from the area above yup that's the birthday boy below looking out to the beautiful beach  we spent about 10-20mins at this section of the beach he even attempt to show me how to skip a rock. 



 the best part about this beach was that it was long enough for a jog but small enough to still have that intimate feel about it

and last but not least my favourite beach which was all connected to the bigger, was this small beach area that was like a hide away even though there was some sand erosion obvious i loved that no more than 5 people could really fit there u would've had a boat and remained at sea with your friends to fit more people, it was just cosy and comfortable just the way i like it.

all in all we ended the day sitting in front Waterfront cafe on the board walk in Bridgetown and boy was it quite a day walking from beach to beach and i am pretty sure he had quite and amasing time too its always fun when you go beaching with a friend or friends any until another time.

well well well its time to dust off the blog and get up on the horse again.

For the past 2 years and about 3mths I have been pursuing my law degree and im almost at the end yeah!!!. This morning I would like to take a look at Barbados and their shows, concerts, events activities we were once considered "a nation of shows".


Within Barbados I have been to a couple of the shows mostly the Reggae and the Soca shows, while you're in attendance there is this sense of unity everybody party's together and just have a good time. Bajans love a good show doesn't matter what the bills look like at home, the girls will come out to all with their hair fixed,nails fixed,eyebrow and outfit on point. I guess its a way to just forget about the stresses of life and just enjoy the moment, ohhh how sometimes we wish we could live in that moment forever.

me and my partner dwayne

I had the opportunity to represented my Parish Christ Church nationally at The Spirit of the Nation Show in 2014, a year long program with a big show at the end. The night went in a flash, a whole year of hard work and a harder show night, this year long program made me realise quite a bit about myself, how I deal with pressure, my social skills, interviewing skills and just my plain ole bajan on bajan interaction. It was one of the longest years of my life but I thank God for being my rock, my family and friends for being my sandy sandy beach and the lovely partner I had Dwayne for being a calming sea and together it was like a beach day everyday with a few thunder storms every now and again, I have met people that will be my friends for a lifetime and I wouldn't have changed a thing about the experience.




Happily
