It seems Santa made Barbados his last stop on Christmas Eve and decided to stay on for "Season" (Winter on the beautiful island in the Caribbean).

If you live in one of the COLD northern climates, maybe you should consider doing the same. You might even run into Santa on the beach there!

And while on Barbados in January, be sure to experience the annual Barbados Independent Film Festival - great films at great venues. For more info, go to https://barbadosfilmfest.org or their page at https://www.facebook.com/Barbadosfilmfest/

For more information on what to see and do on the beautiful Caribbean island of Barbados and/or putting together a group tour during "Season", contact [email protected].

Some important Barbados History from today's "Delancy Place":

As much as oil in the 20th century, sugar would dominate trade and commerce globally in the 16th and 17th centuries, and spawn a renewed and vastly expanded slave trade. First the Portuguese (then Dutch) possessions in Brazil became the world's wealthiest through sugar. Then young Englishman James Drax imported the industry into the British possession of Barbados, and it, and next the British colony of Jamaica, became the wealthiest possessions of the British Empire:
------
"As soon as Drax's first competent Barbados sugar arrived on the London market, it yielded a far higher profit than any other American commodity, fetching as much as £5 per hundredweight. Drax reckoned it increased his income per acre fourfold over any other crop.

"The stunning success of his experiment would see James Drax and his heirs -- as well as other families -- accrue fortunes beyond their wildest dreams. More than that, it would decisively affect the course of history, the fate of empires and the lives of millions. Most immediately, however, it would radically alter the nature of the 15-year-old colony in Barbados."

Any year is a good time to visit Barbados. January-February is best, because, while it's "season", there are more activities to enjoy! AND, while it's cold, rainy, and possibly snowy in Israel, it's sunny and warm in beautiful Barbados.

I'm ready to put together a tour group for January 2020. Contact me at [email protected] for more information and to sign up!

Barbados is a wonderfully charming Caribbean island with much to see and do.

In the 15th & 16th centuries, Jews from the Iberian Peninsula, fleeing the Inquisition, arrived in Recife, Brazil and from there, went on to Barbados. They had learned from the Dutch the skill of the windmill, so upon settling on the island of Barbados, they put that skill to work in the sugar cane plantations, helping to extract the sugar from the cane.

Enjoy this video of photos taken of the remains of 90 of the over 500 sugar cane windmills that once dotted the landscape of beautiful Barbados.

If you want to see more, join one of the Israeli tours to Barbados to see some of these amazing structures up close! We'll visit plantations, stop at roadside to explore some of them, walk through cane fields, and visit a sugar cane mill. Contact [email protected] for more information.

Legend has it that Bathsheba, wife of King David, bathed in milk to keep her skin beautiful and soft. Legend also says that the surf covered white waters of Bathsheba on the east coast of Barbados, rich in minerals and life is said to resemble Bathsheba's bath in both appearance and health giving value.

This is the rugged east coast of Barbados, where visitors come to breath the air, soak in the invigorating Bathsheba Pools, and feel alive.

The village of Bathsheba is home to a small community of fishing folk and their families. Along the coast are guest houses, local rum shops and restaurants. It is a hideaway for discerning tourists and for Bajans who frequently weekend here in their seaside cottages along the shore.

It is breathtakingly beautiful with wide white sandy beaches stretching along a dramatic coastline of striking rock formations against which the Atlantic rollers break in cascades of foam. What at first glance look like huge boulders washed up on the beach are actually rock formations broken away from ancient coral reef!

Come with SuzTours on a 10-day tour of beautiful Barbados, and we'll sit a spell at Bathsheba on the Atlantic Coast. Contact [email protected] for more information.
