Barbados has had a few changes since we were here last year. They have a lady as prime minister who the locals think is making a difference although the roads have not had too many repairs so far. It seem that all the taxis and boogie buses are new or have had a make over. They are all shiney white now and don't show signs of crash damage. The journey fee has gone up from $2 bds to $3.5 though. Oh yes, and the Coconut Court beach bar has had a makeover.
Some things remain the same. We had no winners again at the races, and have visited a few favourite restaurants again. It has rained, it's sunny and blowing a bit. That has all contributed to an increasingly tricky seaweed problem on the South coast. For all their efforts to clear it in the morning it is always back the next day. By choking the oxygen it is forcing the sea life elsewhere which is a pity.
Still it remains a good place to chill for a few days and this year it will be golf free as the Sir Gary Sobers tournament has dropped Apes Hill. Three three remaining courses do not really merit the entry fee. Hey ho I have done it twice so time to look for something new.

The great man is in this golf Tournament with me and seems to have the same challenges as we go into day 3. I had hoped to do four rounds gross 90 or better, but so far only one of our division has managed to be 90 or less for the two rounds we have played.
Royal Westmoreland is a class track in so much better condition than yesterday, although I found the greens slower. I had another frustrating day with 14 ok holes and four nightmares. I played with three Trinidadians who were pretty slow and their whispers carried a fair way. One of them played well so standing at 15th out of 20, I am going to need two good rounds to break into the top ten.
Monkey's took our apples today but I had wised up and hid mine in the ice box. Apes Hill tomorrow so they will probably take the whole buggy!!
Today was a public holiday in Barbados so they moved the racing at Garrison Savannah from Saturday, meaning we missed it. I tee off tomorrow at 07:10 so would have been back in time. Instead I can spend the afternoon on the beach with SWMBO. Every cloud!
