This will be my last entry on this journey, I`m so sad. My holiday is soon over and I have to go back to my cold home. I heard it has been raining a lot at home lately too, so I have to enjoy my last moments here.
The last thing I went to see here on Barbados, was... the library!
I had to go back into Bridgetown to the public library named National Library service of Barbados.
I went here because I wanted to know a bit about the litterature in Barbados.
Barbados litterature is considered as a part of Caribbean litterature.
The most famous writers from Barbados is essayist John Wickham, novelist George Lamming and poet Edward Kamau Braithwaite.
After reading a bit from all of them, I must say I understand why they are Barbados pride in litterature.
My trip ends here, don`t think there is any interesting story of how I took the flight home etc. so I`ll end it here.
Thank you for following my journey to Barbados.
Budged for the trip:
Hotel and flight: 18 798,-
transport: ca. 500,-
pocket money: 2500,-
food: 980,-
