    New subscriber. Fantastic vlog I felt as though I was there with you. I agree with you about PAC bakery absolutely delicious sweet delicacies and so fresh. A favourite of mine are the “coconut turnovers”. Speightstown is so scenic and tranquil and some of the old buildings simply stunning. Shall definitely visit some of those eateries the next time I return. With all the planned developments for the area I really hope the beautiful ambience of Speightstown doesn’t lose its beauty.

    • @expatbarbados-jaeophelia
      @expatbarbados-jaeophelia  7 місяців тому

      Hi Latoya, I would definitely check out the different coastlines first to see if you prefer the north coast east coastlines which are more rugged and then the west and south coast for Caribbean Sea and calmer waters great for swimming. Or do you prefer the interiors with cool breezes and views onto coastal areas.Eg the parish of St Andrew,
      Must sees for me are the towns - Bridgetown Holetown and Speightstown and definitely Bathsheba, North Point and the parish of St Philip near Crane Beach hotel. Hope that helps. Sorry for delay in getting back to you. Just getting connected with regular broadband at home! 💕💖

    I love your videos, can't believe you're old enough to retire you only look like you've just finished your paper round!!!!!
    I suppose the question on everybody's lips is detail about how much you need to live there. I have no concept is £1,000, £2,000 or £5,000 needed if you want to comfortably retire there? Perhaps you could do a video with a monthly breakdown of all the costs. These sorts of things are immensely popular on UA-cam
