Return to Barbados

I woke up and initially fooled myself into thinking that I'd managed to shake off the previous day's cold. Unfortunately, I was completely mistaken   We went to breakfast and then took the cart for a final spin up to the Casino; this time I remembered to take my camera along.

We then had to face the task of packing and checking out of the resort. How easy it is to fall into the relaxing, luxurious lifestyle! Raffles had everything organised and picked up the luggage at 1215. We rode our little cart, which we'd never got round to naming, down to Reception, checked out and boarded the car for the airport.

The Raffles service extended to seeing us through immigration at BGI - the diplomatic and air crews channel, no less! We took a cab to the Hilton and nearly stewed due to the lack of air-conditioning. Soon enough, we were checking in to the final hotel of the trip and collecting the final upgrade   We had time to take a somewhat minimalist afternoon tea in the Executive Lounge and then explore the hotel and its grounds before returning to the lounge for happy hour and, finally, following Bruce's first night = room service rule for dinner.
