Barbados #2

The Rihanna concert was wild! I loved everything, the show, the music the dancing and last but not least the woman is fantastic. Very cool to see her perfom in her own homecountry, and it was very clear that it was special for her too. The audience waas great as well, and the atmosphere was great and the mood on top all the way through the concert. It was great!
























Anyways, I think it's been a bit too long since the last time I updated you so here comes a little summary of the last days. We put of one whole day to hiking and we joined a touristgroup that took us for a walk through the very famous limestone caves. The limestone caves were overwhelming to walk in to, I have never seen anything like it. The tour guide showed us around, and then we got to walk around on our own for a little while and take pictures. Here are one of my own pictures and one i found just to illustrate what such a cave can look like from the outside:

We also went on a touristguided tour to the Barbados museum yesterday, to learn a bit of both culture and language. Did you for example know that Barbados has it's own englishinfluished language? Because of the parents trying to teach their children a new language, some of the loqals at Barbados speak english with some kind of West-African accent. The language is called bajan, but really it's just  another form for twisted/different english. We also learnt that the Barbadosflag is is blue, yellow and black, which stands for the sands, the oceans surrounding the island and the trident is from the colonial badge. It's starting to get late in Barbados now, so we'll take the history part i've learned later. Bye!
