Its nearly 4 years since my roaming took me from the deserts of Dubai to the tropical coral island of Barbados. Totally different Geography. So I suppose after all this time I should have some good Geography tales about the country.
Most interesting fact - Barbados is as water scarce as Jordan in the Middle East! Thats what comes from being a coral island. We have just had months with very little rain. The land is dry and the cane fires are crackling. Almost got caught in one today. It is at this time of year that everyone starts to realise just how little water there is. To have tourism as the main industry with the water expectations of pools and showers is tough. Also the recent rise in golf tourism and the vast quantities of water needed there have added pressures. However Sandy lane built its own $1million desalination plant ... explains the green fees there.
