Barbados of Jack Sparrow


“Jack, that time we met in Barbados, I didn’t know whether I ever wanted to speak to you again”
            Did you guys remember the line? It is from the movie Pirates of Caribbean, the conversation between Jack Sparrow and Esmeralda. Do you ever dreamt of going to Barbados? Well, I always found myself dreaming of a vacation there. If you didn’t know, Barbados is an independent island nation within the British Commonwealth in the eastern Caribbean.

This place is worthy to be visited as much of the island is ringed by coral reefs and provide an excellent environment for snorkeling and scuba diving. The island lies on the boundary of the Caribbean and South American continental plates making Barbados unique on geological grounds. Within the core of the island it made up mainly of coral sediment, can be found numerous caves and underground lakes. The most famous of which is arguably Harrison’s Cave; a network of caves, waterfalls, pools and fantastic stalagmites and stalactites.

Barbados also offers one of the most popular cities to be travelled in America which is Miami. They have Miami Beach there which is very famous for the film and music video filming of international celebrities. For more facts about the popular Miami, you guys can click here

Last but not least, Miami also offers its tourists the historical place to be discovered. One of them is the Bussa Emancipation Statue. It is actually a public sculpture of a slave rebellion leader in Barbados. Many Barbarians refer to the statue as Bussa, the name of slave who helped inspired a revolt against slavery in Barbados, back in 1816. It somehow symbolized the “Breaking of Chains”. 
Bussa!
