Days 19-20: Barbados and Antigua

Day 19: Bridgetown, Barbados

This was our 3rd or 4th trip to Barbados, and we've seen almost everything on the island.  Add to that the fact that I was still feeling under the weather (so to speak), so we decided to just hang out at a beach near downtown Bridgetown.

From the beach, we walked to the center of town.

Day 20: St. John's Antigua and Barbuda

I was still feeling rather puny when we docked in St. John's, and since we had already visited Antigua, we limited our activity to wandering around the town.

Antigua was the last stop on the cruise.  Two days later we arrived in Ft. Lauderdale.  Below are a couple of shots from the last two days. 



On the last night we had (traditional) Baked Alaska.  However, instead of lighting sparklers, they now put battery-powered tea candles in the Baked Alaska.  Another maritime tradition down the drain :-(
