As we check in with Virgin Atlantic for our flight from Manchester to Barbados the pleasant, competent staff inform us that we have the whole economy section to ourselves and 5 other passengers. On the entire plane (some big Airbus) there are 24 passengers. It is the best flight I have been on. Once we decided which row to have, and which toilet to have as our private one, it was a smooth flight with plenty of space.
So, to be visiting Barbados was not in the plan, but it turned out to be a great experience. From the unlicenced taxi driver (who I ended up having to direct, using the map when he got lost) to the marvellous Air B&B hosts (she American, born in Trinidad, he English and like a Graham Greene character), to the bootleg bus that resounded with reggae, and had a crammed interior that someone always seemed to accommodate just one or two more passengers, to the fish restaurant outdoors at Oistins, and another chaotic bus ride back - it was all a delight.
