It was a beautiful day on Barbados, and the sea looked especially inviting. Who didn't want to enjoy a February vacation in paradise? Truly?

Hotel

One of the first all-inclusive wellness boutique hotels in Barbados, wellness is at the core of Waves Resort & Spa, which features tranquil surroundings and exceptional service, all inspired by the style of South Beach.

Hotel - Rooms

The chaperones have been assigned Ocean Front split-level rooms, and the students have been given Ocean Front rooms with two doubles or a king-sized bed depending on what's funnier.

Hotel - Food

Seascape has Mediterranean-inspired cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or try Shiso for Asian fusion or the Kyma coffee bar for cafe items and grab-and-go snacks.

Kitty would happily grab a buffet breakfast while sipping on coffee. Look how much food there was that she'd never considered for breakfast and she didn't have to make. Getting a seat with a view? Even better.

Pamper yourself with wellness treatments like facials, massages, body scrubs, manicures and pedicures. Or visit one of the complimentary fitness or yoga classes before a dip in the pool.

Sure, the beach is right there. But maybe you fancy a dip in some chlorinated water instead? Or you want to check out the adults-only spa pool.

Harrison's Cave Eco Adventure Park

[my_own_advocate]

Yes, another cave. Harrison's Cave Eco-Adventure Park specifically, which boasts a tram tour of the stunning crystalline limestone caverns that gave the park its name, zip-lining, an aviary, and even rum tasting (if you missed out on yesterday's excursion, or just want to go again. Flint.). Don't forget to stop by the gift shop!

Ziiiiiiip-liiiiiiine!

Pretty much every single one of Arden's friends was getting a text letting them know that the zip-lining had been found and looked awesome and there were caves and EVEN AN AVIARY to check out.

So that was Arden's day pretty easily sorted: some adventuring with a side of sitting amongst tropical birds and letting them land on her. She wasn't as much a Disney princess as Cal was, but she'd end up cuddling a bird or two at some point.

Even without Arden's text, did you really think Sir Graham of Daventry would miss out on a place with Adventure in the title? Come on.

He was there and he was stoked for zip-lines and adventures (and maybe to brush up on some bird dialects, too, while he was at it)!

Obviously Charlie was here! I mean, where else would she be? Ziplining, adventure, and her friends? Nowhere else for sure!

Re: Harrison's Cave Eco Adventure Park

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Of course Belle found herself here. Adventures and her friends!

Zip-lining, of course, was happening.

Andromeda Botantic Gardens

[my_own_advocate]

Barbados's only botantical garden, Andromeda Botanic Gardens is 8 acres of cultivated gardens with over 600 plant species, focused on community inclusion and biodiversity.

Eleanor felt a little bad about skipping out on zip-lining with her friends, but that really wasn't her thing and she tended to just spend her time watching the others have fun without participating herself.

But the botanical gardens were her thing, and more helpful to her in the long-run, so she just let herself gravitate that way, to check things out and hopefully get some new and useful ideas.

Re: Andromeda Botantic Gardens

Since she had spa'd almost all day yesterday, Surreal was here today, enjoying the sheer amount of green and taking in the flora.

...possibly resisting the temptation to swipe a few seeds, to see if they'd grow at home.

Holetown

[my_own_advocate]

Originally named Jamestown after James I of England, lively Holetown is Barbados' first town.

Re: Holetown

[thatwaslucky]

Surprising no one, Rey was not a luxury shopper so the malls were right out, but she did find a couple little out of the way shops to get souvenirs. Plus the people in those shops were happy to talk some, so this definitely purely felt like the right choice.

Food

[my_own_advocate]

In Barbados, an exciting mix of local, regional and international flavours are well represented throughout the island. Whether you're looking for a sophisticated five star, fine dining experience or more lowkey and comforting delights, you're sure to find it.
