Drive on the left !
Roadmaps give you a good idea of the island roads, however don't be surprised if you find a road that looks on the map to be a main road yet is - shall we say - in less than ideal condition. Many roads have potholes and uneven surfaces, take care, go slowly.
Most navigation is a bit of trial and error, and your are likely to take a wrong turn and get lost more than once - Locals are generally very happy to help you out and give you directions.
The bus signs are world famous - To City, Out of City - basically telling you you're heading to Bridgetown or not.

Baby and Toddler Equipment
Travelling has become more difficult in recent years. Between security concerns and newly enforced baggage restrictions, bringing all the baby equipment you will need while away from home just doesn’t make sense. By hiring baby gear travelling parents can eliminate the hassle of having to fly with a bulky, heavy stroller, car seat and a large bag filled with bottles, sterilizers, nappies, pack ‘n play, etc. Baby Gear Hire would love to make your trip easier. We look forward to serving you and welcoming your family and you to family friendly Barbados.
We have been visiting the island for over 20 yeas and have dreamed of owing a small piece where we could share it with our friends and family as well as selected guests. That dream finally came true in 2023 and the result is 'Tala' - we hope you love her and the island as much as we do.
