Just returned from 10 days in Barbados
Now I know that sounds a bit pretentious - but being on the tennis court at 0830 every morning does not allow for too many rum punches the night before!
The local islanders have a remarkably low key approach to life, their movement being slow to the point of being ponderous (apart from when they're in the cockpit of a banana boat!).
I guess they wouldn't serve too many double faults - my theory, albeit simplistic, is that most faults on the second serve are caused by 'rushing'. It is perhaps better to take a few deep breaths before serving and picture palm trees swaying in the breeze!
My impression of Barbados is one of a paradise lost. When Virgin jumbo jets disgorge hundreds of Brits onto the island on a daily basis, it is extremely difficult to immerse yourself in the local culture. But it was great to play tennis in the sunshine.
Ps Sorry about the postcards (lack of) - but do you really appreciate a PC from Barbados in the middle of winter?
