Southern Barbados is in Barbados.

[edit] Understand

This is the southern region of Barbados encompassing the parishes of Christchurch and Saint Philip. Tourists will end up mostly within a couple km of the beach. Almost continuously along the coast there are small towns each of which have their own simple attractions.

[edit] Talk

The official language in Barbados is English. Locals also speak an English dialect reminiscent of the Scottish highland dialect... Which is referred to as Bajan. There are a few African words interspersed with the dialect. Communication will not be a problem for any English speaker as Barbados has one of the highest literacy rates in the Western Hemisphere of around 99.9 percent.

[edit] Get in

Highway 7 is the main road through Southern Barbados along which all public transport runs. Routes from Bridgetown are going eastward whereas routes from the airport or Sam Lord's Castle (also known just as Castle) are going westward.

[edit] Get around

[edit] Public Transport

Getting around on the south is a breeze. Public transport operates regularly (as often as every 10 minutes) along the south coast road and all cost B$2.00 per trip. Government operated "transport board buses" are easily recognizable large blue buses with a yellow stripe. Mini-buses (smaller yellow buses with blue stripe) and route taxis (small white minivans with a purple stripe with 'ZR' on their license plates, seat up to 15 people) are privately operated. Most buses operate to and from Bridgetown, but a few routes to the west coast will by-pass the city.

[edit] Taxi

Private taxis (not be confused with mini-buses/route taxis) are relatively much more expensive starting at B$2.00/km. At night though they are the safest option.
