In August I had an amazing time in Barbados for a short 10 days. The small island was beautiful, the locals were so friendly and lovely and the food was out of this world. Whilst in Barbados I was part of 'Crop Over', Crop Over is a colourful and popular festival that originates from the 1780's when Barbados was the world's largest producer of sugar. Each year Barbadian's would celebrate another successful year of sugar cane harvesting by taking part in the Crop Over festival which celebrated the Barbadian culture.
Being part of the Crop Over festival was an incredible and priceless experience and I'm dying to be part of the colourful festival again. I danced with the band 'Baje' which is one of the most popular and largest bands that dance in Crop Over, everyone wore beautiful, vibrant costumes and really embraced the celebratory mood everyone was in, with the help of rum of course. Unfortunately to my disappointment I didn't see the beautiful Rihanna, but I still wore her Fenty Puma's just incase I needed the catch her attention. Although, Chanel Iman a beautiful model who I also admire was part of the Crop Over festival and looked amazing!
As well as being part of Crop Over I also went to Bridgetown which is a popular shopping strip full of markets and shops, a Mount Gay rum tour which was one of my favourite activities and don't think it lasted long enough! The Fish market that was a hotspot for locals and tourists full of the best fresh seafood restaurants, music and trinket shops and lastly my favourite I went snorkelling and sailing on a catamaran and got to watch the beautiful sunset whilst drinking rum punch.
