Hi all... Sorry i haven't updated for a while, I have been trying to spend less time on the computer and more time out and about if you know what I mean.. Anyway, we are nearly at the end of our time here in Barbados, so this will be the last blog entry from here. On Wednesday we'll be making our way to Trinidad and Tobego, and meeting up with another friend of ours called Jackson who will be joining us for the next few months.
