NICHOLAS ABBEY
Covered by beautiful green trees and an overview of beautiful cherry tree hill, St. Nicholas abbey showcases what it was like living on a plantation in the 17th century.
Afterward, take a lunch break at the Terrance café which offers lunch and refreshments and if you are wondering what the best way is to arrive here, I suggest taking a taxi or make arrangements with your hotel concierge.

MOUNT GAY RUM
Barbados, known to many as the birthplace of rum and if you are a lover of liquor, this is the tour for you. Mount Gay Rum distillery offers a tour of the factory educating you on the history and distribution along with a tasting tour.

WILDLIFE RESERVE
A forest surrounded by four acres of mahogany trees and home to a variety of animals. If memory serves me right, I believe the entry fee is $30.00BBD (15USD) Before the tour, you will be handed a paper, with information about the reserve, its animals, and their location. Now is where the fun starts as you make your way, you will stumble upon a caution sign that informs you of the rules of the reserve, and to respect the animals.
As you walk along the red brick pathway, turtles, tortoises, peacocks, and deer can be seen. When rainfalls, I do find the path to be slippery so I will advise you to be careful. Remember you are in their habitat, so move quietly and with caution.
Snakes, Iguanas, fish, and birds are located in the sanitary, at the top of the path. As you enter, you will notice a wide variety of snakes on display such as the Colombian rainbow boa, phytons. On display above the snakes closest to the door to the fish, you will find the skin from the oldest living snake, who goes by the name of Monte.
Next, you will make your way to the bird and iguana sanctuary. If you hear a rustling noise above you, most likely to be monkeys at play so don’t be alarmed. I do ask, that you be careful as you make your way. After your tour, if you require a snack or soda, the reserve has a small but quaint sitting area for you to relax after.
