[TwoTrekkers]

At the dock in Barbados (Princess Cruise) is there a collection of shops within walking distance of the pier?

These shots were taken right in the Barbados Cruise terminal building!

 

 

 

 

- and there are more..(stalls) outside the building, before you get to the taxis

Did I read on here somewhere that prices are high in Barbados? No bargains to be found? Like Grand Cayman maybe????

Thanks!

Barbados isn't cheap but you get what you pay for. I purchased t-shirts 5 years ago that I still wear (after many many washings). You won't find any vendors stalls (unless you go to the fruit and vegetable market). I enjoyed the people. The drivers will honk their horns a lot but it's a friendly greeting. The locals go about their business, but if you ask questions, they will happily answer them.

No it isn't cheap here (everything's imported!)

 

 

Yes, there's a whole 'unspoken' horn language here..

everything from greetings.. thru thank-you's

to outright mad/angry:mad: (the looong ones):)

but mostly it's just greetings -and thanks for being let out into an unending stream of traffic!

 

Most Europeans are quite amazed by it, since horn usage in Euroland is all but forbidden:eek:

We had a coversation last Feb . Everything you said about your island rang true.. My dad is buried in St. Peters church yard.. So I'm Half Bajan:)..I'm coming down again on the Mariner of the seas arriving 10 Jan for a 8 hour stay.. Questions for you if I might..

1. Where can I get some flying fish and cou-cou without going to the ends of the earth?..Brown Sugar is closed on Saturday afternoon..2. I'm recommending to my cruisemate they take a cab from the port to see the island.. What do you think?..Thanks in advance...Rick

For some nice shopping....walk out of the port and follow the water about 3 blocks. ON the left is Pelican ????...can't remember the name. There are ceramic pieces, sauces, etc. all made on the island. Prices were very reasonable.
