Crop Over Diaries 2013

Thursday, August 08, 2013

Hey guys! Happy August!!

AH TYAD BOI!! Its been a busy and tiring weekend here in Barbados because it was our "las lap" of our Crop Over Festival for this year 2013. And I have to say that I have had a safe and enjoyable crop over season. 

But it has been ridiculously long and tiring last lap. 

Friday I went foreday morning jump up on Spring Garden Highway to watch the revellers, came home at 10 in the morning slept went to a lime with some friends at 7 pm came home around 1 am then Sunday night I went to the big Cohoblopot event (which was really good), got home about 4 am then back out Monday morning for Grand Kadooment as the final event of the season.


Phew!! my feet are killing me!! :(

I was on my feet for basically for the whole weekend walking up and down. But I have to say that it was worth it.

Three of the simple outfits I wore this season.




The only disappointing part of the season was the fact that some people cannot control themselves.Why can't people just go out and enjoy themselves without fighting?? It was very upsetting and disappointing.
But all in all I think it was a very good Crop Over season and I look forward to next year. Hopefully I get to participate even more, who knows! ;)

Don't think my feet would enjoy that though lol

Take a look at some of the video I managed to take at Cohoblopot this year.

Until next time.

The Beach !!

Tuesday, June 25, 2013

So yesterday I went to the beach with some good friends of mine, and besides the constant harrassment of some strange men...it was a pretty good day. The water was hella cold tho but there was a gorgeous sunset.

Island Excursion!!

Friday, June 07, 2013

Hey guys, yesterday I decided to walk to a friend's house. I caught the bus to the top of Oistins Hill in the South and walked the rest of the way. That was my exercise for the day, and it took me about 45 minutes to get to his house.

On my way I took some pics because it was such a gorgeous day. I must admit, that Barbados is a beautiful place to be especially in the summer! The beach and the sky were a gorgeous blue (wish I had stopped and took a dip). I went early in the morning and saw some morning sea bathers, some surfers waiting for the right waves and two men fishing.

I'm telling you Barbados is the place to be in the Summer!!Take a look!

 I can smell the beach!

I'm Here!






A little hotel close to the beach


spotted two early fishers






Thought this rock looked like a dinosaur or even an iguana! 


The idle surfers waiting for some waves to show up

Monday, June 03, 2013

On day 2, we went to the Bushy Park Area which is a little bit more closer to home and had a close up view of the action. Here are a few of the pics I managed to take with my oh-so-slow camera lol.







As you can see my response time wasn't that great but I tried.

Rally Day 1: King of the Hill

Monday, June 03, 2013

Hey Guys!! The weekend was action packed for the Sol Rally Barbados Event, even though the sun was unbearable we still managed to have a good time with the eats, drinks, people and CARS!! I am not nearly a huge car fan, but I can appreciate the sport that others love so much.

On day 1 , we drove all the way to Sailor Gully, St. Peter to watch several stages. Now I am no professional photographer but I managed to snap a few pics and videos at the event.







Here is a short snippet of one of the cars.

Rally Barbados

Sunday, May 26, 2013

Good night guys, I had a fun day today. Me my boyfriend and two of his friends went all the way to St. Lucy (the north part of Barbados for those who don't know) from Christ Church (in the south) to watch the annual Sol Rally Barbados King of the Hill event. It was a long drive but the journey was fun lol , even though we only got to see the last round.

 All in all it was a pretty relaxing day, I only regret not taking any pictures of some of the cars. Hopefully next week I would get a chance to take some at the final rally. It really is a good atmosphere once you're with the right people.

 So if you all are ever in Barbados around this time, yall should come. Bring a chair a cooler some drinks and good company and enjoy the event!

 Much love, Kei
