Union Island, Barbados, Grenadines Feb/March on your own?
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 11:07 pm
I'm thinking of heading here on my own for a few weeks (mainly Union) I have a few concerns, perhaps the people with a neutral opinion that have spent time there can advise.
prices - it looks like a real luxury place are all food and drinks super expensive? What would be a comfortable budget here per day? (not including flights, accommodation).
too quiet? - travelling by myself, I was wondering if such a small island is going to be a bit too small or full of honeymooners? Im not looking for partying all night or anything, but as long as there is always a few people around on the beach for launching landing,chatting then a bar that has a similar crowd having a few beers in the evening would be perfect for me.
I see the JT school is there, it looks good and I like the idea of doing a couple of tours but i'd want somewhere that the majority of the time I can kite all day for free. without worrying about damaging my kite self-landing.
would be heading out on the 25/26th Feb probably spend a few days either side in Barbados, if anyone interested in joining me, even better.
thanks for any opinions or advice.
