Question
Hi,  My wife and I will be stopping for just one day and would like to know if you had to pick one attraction we should visit what would it be.  We don't take the organized trips off the cruise, seems to expensive and like your being hurded around.  You mentioned horse racing.  Is there racing in barbados?  I have owned and trained standard breds in the past. Thanks, Bob

Answer
Hi Bob,

I love specially a catamaran cruise with swimming and snorkeling, but you are already on cruise ship so I think it will not be your favorite choice. I also love a walk through Welchman Hall Gully. You find there a large variety of tropical trees, shubs and flowers, but not like in a park. For more information about these tours please visit www.barbados.org.
Twice the month we have horse racing at the Garrison Savannah - saturdays. For more information about racing in Barbados visit please www.Barbados Turf Club .com
When you would like to visit our farm and see our horses let us know! Right now we have our stallion, 4 mares, 1 retired gelding, 3  yearlings and 2 race horses - a 5 year old gelding and a 4 year old filly.
Pictures of our farm you a see at http://community.webshots.com/user/hannam101

Enyou your trip and Barbados and maybe we hear more from you!
Bye Hanna
