I woke up early one morning when I was staying at a hotel beside Maxwell Beach in Barbados and the swimming pool looked so inviting! I quickly took the picture and put on a pair of trunks and jumped straight in there.

Because the sun had only just started to rise, the swimming pool was real cold and I felt like I was going to have a heart attack when I my body hit the water. Fortunately it only took a few seconds to acclimatize to the water and I then had a fantastic wee swim.

It sure was a great way to begin the day with the early morning sun gently beating down on me and the calming sound of the Caribbean Sea in the background.

I took this picture as I was heading back to my car after spending some time at Codrington College in the Parish of St John in Barbados and it conjured up an image of Christmas that I use to love. Sitting around a real log fire back home in Scotland enjoying a few a few drams of Dalwhinnie Single Malt Scotch whisky and if we were really lucky it wouldn’t just be feezing outside, it would be snowing as well.  

I don’t know if the priests inside the college where sitting near the fire place enjoying good old Scottish firewater or perhaps they were having a few glasses of mulled wine, it is Christmas time after all!

I was having a wee walk along the Careenage, which is located near the centre of Bridgetown in Barbados, when I took this picture of a helicopter landing about 100 metres away from where I was standing.

I wish I had been little bit closer so that  I could have captured the pilot in the picture as well, but never the less I’m happy with my picture of a helicopter coming down to land.

I couldn’t help but be amazed by the boat  I watched slowly moving along the water heading out of the Careenage in Barbados. This little boat looked like it had just dropped out of outer space and had landed on the water, it was an amazing looking vessel.

I can only guess that this futuristic boat is possible a glass-bottomed boat that is aimed at the tourists that are seeking to look at the beautiful reefs along the coastline of Barbados.

Today I’m featuring the entrance to  Codrington College, which is the Theological College of the West Indies. A place of religious learning in Barbados.

Codrington College is a beautiful place to go and visit and spend some time enjoying the grounds and views, which this fantastic place have to offer, Codrington College the Perfect Picnic Location.
