How about a catamaran lunch cruise they are lots of fun then you can go back to Ocean 11 shower and change and head out again. Perhaps have dinner at somewhere like Café Sol it is not fancy but fun and lively or Ship in then just hang out in the pap mabey somewhere like McBride's do you like Reggae. They have Reggae band that plays there.

those can work as well.

You will probably find good music being there around Independence Day - last time I was there at that time period, Krosfyah played at the Boatyard - check out websites like http://www.kadooment.com for calendar updates of what is happening -

Not sure of the difference in the UK, but the first time we were in Barbados, we found that what we call dancehall in the US (Beenie, Elephant Man, etc...) is referred to as "Bashment" in Barbados - When we asked for Dancehall we got lovers rock!

For a special birthday dinner, I would do Josefs - it can be on the romantic side, but doesn't have to be - it is so beautiful though, and the food is excellent.

And I agree that Barbados beats those islands hands down!

Hey...Does Eddy Grant still own that club near to St Lawrence Gap ?

Thanks for the tips everyone.

Reggae is good too, thanks.

Suz - yep my idea of dancehall is the same as yours so will follow 'Bashment' no lover’s rock thanks! Have found a site called www.bajandancehall.com during my searches last night that seems to have some good inside info on events/fetes.

Where is Josefs?

geneticsniper - is Club Extreme best at weekends?

We were considering starting the day in a peaceful/thankful way and attending a church service (as it is the day of rest) has anyone been to the Anglican church in St Lawrence Gap?

Josefs is in the Gap - it is a beautiful restaurant - tables on a stone patio overlooking the water - and incredible food.

I was not that impressed by Club Extreme - I found the crowd to be very young. They do have a website, so you can view pictures of various events and judge for yourself.
