What's Happening: Longstanding Visitors Reception

14th January, 2015
Longstanding Visitors Reception in Barbados

We were honoured to be invited to the Prime Minister's home Illaro Court, where there was a reception to celebrate and thank the visitors who have been Visiting Barbados for years! As we entered the reception area, the children of Bay Primary were all lined up and greeted us singing Bajan folk songs! A lovely welcome indeed! We took some time to explore the beautiful surroundings and got a chance to chat with some visitors who have been coming to the island for years upon years! It was such a treat getting to meet these wonderful people who undoubtedly see Barbados as their second home. See what they had to say about our amazing little rock below:
