The Hike Barbados calendar for 2010 is now available at http://barbados.org/hike1.htm Those of you familiar with the hikes will recognize many familiar starting points such as Cove Bay, Brandons, the Old Sugar Factories and Bath beach। If you haven't been on the hikes before, it's a wonderful opportunity to explore the natural beauty of Barbados, learn the intruiging history of our island, and get some exercise :) The hikes are held each Sunday and last approximately 3 hours. Morning hikes start at 6:00 a.m. Afternoon hikes start at 3:30 p.m. (with the exception of the Moonlight hikes, which start at 5:30 p.m.) Remember to visit http://barbados.org/hike1.htm for the hike calendar and bookmark the page for future reference.

The Barbados Open House programme for 2010 is now available at http://barbados.org/openhse.htm#programme . Each year from January to April, the Barbados National Trust opens homes across the island to the public. The homes are typically of historic or architectural interest and offer an interesting look into the Barbados lifestyle... present and yesteryear! This years programme includes some old favourites like Fisherpond Plantation House and Buttsbury along with the historic Tyrol Cot and elegant Chukkas villa.
