Bajan Bonanza!

A beautiful sunrise together with sight of land after 10 days straight at sea was a great way to start the day this morning.  And things have got better and better.  Captain Sergey and his team achieved a smooth and impressive landing, given the very small amount of space available!  Disembarking from the ship was also smooth,  thankfully.  From the port, we wandered into Bridgetown,  the capital of Barbados.  There we paused at an organic, plant based cafe at the corner of the bus station and sampled the local public transportation which dropped us exactly outside 'Debushes' - our home and place of learning and sharing for the next two weeks at least.  Teddy - the owner and designer of the land - and Helen - the current project manager of Teddy's dream to create an educational nature reserve freely open to the public,  were there to greet us,  as were a vast array of plants and animals including bamboo and banana plants, humming birds and  mongoose. We feel like we are in paradise.  More about the people and wildlife including photos in posts to come no doubt.
