The Farm Tour on Barbados pt.1

On the schedule  of  the 2013 Web 2.0 workshop today was a 4 hours field trip. First we started an hour and 30 minutes bus drive to one of  Barbados number one farms, as i stepped out of the bus, one of my first observation was the temperature. My thoughts were this is  a little taste of  hell, how do people work in this temperate during the afternoon. Not to my knowledge there was a heavy duty greenhouse. The picture below is of the inside of the greenhouse.


The value of this green ranges from 8000 US to 10000 US.. Make more affordable to the farmers due to governmental aid.

Transitional point Antigua, Final destination Barbados ( liat's version)




     Its been 3 years since I've traveled on LIAT,  but to attend an web 2.0 workshop  held in Barbados on the campus of UWI, my options were limited. Traveling on LIAT is always a trip, you could ask anyone about their experience with our number one Caribbean airline; the response would probably be the same; delays or losing baggage.

       I live in the small island of Nevis (federation of st. Kitts and Nevis), i took a ferry between the sister islands to get to st. Kitts and this boat ride usually lasts 45 mins.  I departed on an airplane with final destination Barbados with transitional point in Antigua and Dominica. Like i mentioned before with the LIAT experience there are either  delays or lost of baggage. Well for me, it was delay 2 hours in st.Kitts and in Antigua I had 20 minutes to get though transition but thank to a 30 minute delay in Antigua, I was  able to make the flight. During the 20 minutes i had, I rushed to wait in a plane for 30 whole minutes ( 30 minutes imagine that) without hearing any reason why they are departing at this time.

      Wow! How LIAT changed in those 3 years, back then i thought it can't get worse; but i know they can't get worse. Classic LIAT is the new terminology  for the LIAT experiences.

      You don't know the LIAT experiences unless  you have ever been on there planes. 

       LEAVE A COMMENT IF YOU HAVE EVER HAD A CLASSIC LIAT!!!
