Scubs alternative Christmas thread.
As some as you know, I'm in Barbados for a month and getting married here on January 9th.
We have friends and family arriving from the UK and friends from Barbados, US and Canada coming to the wedding, 23 guests in all.
We normally stay with friends in there beachfront condo, but felt we could not impose on them for a month so are in a hotel for the first 20 days, then another friend who also has a condo is giving us that to ourselves for the last 8 nights.
I'll post some pics and a bit of a blog, if there is any interest.
Day one, Thursday 21st we arrived at our hotel around 5pm. Went out for a few drinks and ate off one of the food stalls, in bed for 9.30 Barbados time so up for around 21 hours.
Day 2 was supermarket, checking my dive gear and setting up a new BCD, then Oistins for the Friday night fish fry. A little fishing village that is heaving on Fridays with rum shops selling cheap rum, beer and food and live music.
8 of us ate and had 3/4 drinks each for around $150.

I want to embed the video here, rather than a link.
Thanks for all the good wishes folks.

That seems a bit harsh to be fair.
I was buzzing when we flew out of Heathrow to get married on the beach in Mauritius. Even though we now have different addresses 20 years later.

No need to read, less need to comment if it offends you. Which incidentally I don't give a flying F**k about if it does.

N4LLY, Ty for the suggestion of this thread. Alas you appear to be colluding in me showing off.

Sounds awesome! What's the diving like there? Only dived Tobago which was lovely but heard the rest of the Caribbean can be a bit hit and miss
