Today we are going to introduce you to a cliff known as Hackletons which is just about the best view of the East Coast of Barbados. Not only is it utterly breathtaking but where you stand to embrace it's magnificence lay three burial vaults containing the remains of the Hackleton, Forster, Cox and Culpepper Families which date back to 1685. These families were one of the first set of families to move across the Atlantic and reside on our Island, Barbados. See below and bask in the beauty yourself.<br />

Sugar Harvest has arrived and we thought we would give you a little glimpse of it in action.<br />

We have no clue why it was named Pebbles beach as there are absolutely no pebbles! :) For some reason (which we love) this beach is never highly populated so it is basically yours when you go. Relax and soak up the beams; take a blanket and a picnic basket or better yet...<a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2012/03/uncovering-local-secret-cuz-we-think.html"><u>Cuz</u></a> is selling his famous food right next door! <br />

For over two decades Cuz has been selling pan fried fish, egg and cheese cutters (if you want all three in one bread that's fine too). He is adored by locals and travelers alike for selling famously tender and tasty cutters at famously fresh prices. When we asked him the trick behind it all...he laughed out loud and said "now why would I tell you that". All we can guess is- its all the love he puts in his cooking and the fact that he serves the freshest of fresh fish which comes straight out our beautiful Bajan seas. <br />

We decided to go to <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2012/01/life-doesnt-get-much-better-than-this.html"><u>Ju Ju's</u></a> where the waters were calm, the sand white and everything just..very relaxing. Below is a picture of the sun as it set yesterday. We could have stayed here all week..but no such luck as life still has to go on. Right?<br />

Scattered across our island are these beautiful, very tropical looking flowers bursting from lush and leafy trees. The common name for these flowers are Frangipani but they are known as Plumeria. The flowers bloom in a bunch all nestled beside one another and can be seen in two popular colors- white with vibrant yellow centers and then pink with the same vibrant yellow centers.<br />

Barbados is full of sunlight and has the perfect climate for many food crops, however we always seem to be importing a never ending supply of them. Today we thought we would talk about a type of lettuce which is locally grown but greatly underused in many hotels, restaurants and homes across the island.<br />

Local lettuce, as it is called, is of the leafy type and has fantastic flavor. Not to mention it is loaded with Vitamin A, C, K, frolic acid, magnesium and potassium. Delicate and fresh, local lettuce can be enjoyed with a variety of vinaigrettes or as a healthy addition to any sandwich. Ask for it the next time you dine out...with increased demand comes increased supply!<br />

The beach is said to get its name from the cattle that were once brought down to the shore line by their owners to be washed in the salt water. At present, this undisturbed beach is lined with an expanse of white sands and greeted by the cool trade winds off the East. In Summer, Cattlewash is a very popular spot among locals who rent out the beach houses that line the coast. On the weekends during these summer months, majority of the temporary residents have large lunch parties (that often run into the night) serving the staple - rumpunch as well as large quantities of <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/search/label/Food"><u>local food</u></a> like baked chicken, pork, fish, macaroni pie, pudding and souse, barbequed pig tails...and the list goes on. Everyone seems to be invited, from family to friends of friends. There is no doubt that some of the best summer moments are spent along this beach!<br />

You can be sure to enjoy your day spent on Cattlewash, maybe stop by <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2012/02/small-restaurant-with-big-flavour.html"><u>Sand Dunes</u></a>, pick up some lunch and then head down to the beach. Please note that the open ocean is not advised for swimming due to many <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rip_current"><u>rip currents</u></a>. Instead, take advantage of the exotic rock pools scattered through out the beach and simply live life how its meant to be lived.<br />

Yes, we know red roses are the flower of love however, have you ever wondered what those heart-shaped tropical flowers in Barbados were? Well they are called Anthuriums but are also be known as the Flamingo Flower or Boy Flower because of the structure of the spadix (the piece that sticks off the waxy flower). Such a beautiful flower, Anthurium is a genus of over 800 species.<br />

With over 200 exhibitors displaying and selling a diverse selection of seedlings, organic vegetables, orchids, crafts and livestock, the weekend was filled with excitement for people of all ages. Not only were farmers at <a href="http://www.basonevoice.org/agrofest">Agrofest</a> displaying their local produce but there were livestock and animal shows also! Take a look below for some of the photos we snapped (in between buying our weeks worth of veggies and enjoying the atmosphere!).<br />

Recently a new restaurant in Barbados, <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2012/02/taste-of-pan-asian-heaven.html"><u>Naru Restaurant and Lounge</u></a> started incorporating it into sushi! Bul Jol is made from salted cod and various vegetables and herbs such as sweet pepper, tomato, cucumber, thyme, marjoram etc. A vital component of Bul Jol is also the famous hot <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2011/12/in-heat-of-moment-scotch-bonnet-pepper.html"><u>scotch bonnet peppers</u></a>! In Bul Jol, the saltiness of the cod coupled with the crisp and wet coolness of the vegetables make this dish ideal. Additionally, the variation of the ingredients provide a pleasant texture. <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/p/about-us.html"><u>We</u></a>, over at <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/"><u>Loop Barbados</u></a>, prepare Bul Jol on a regular basis, as not only is it extremely delicious but also low in fat and cholesterol. See below for <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/p/about-us.html"><u>our</u></a> special Bul Jol recipe.<br />

<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Place the salted fish in a deep bowl and boil enough water to completely cover it. After the water reaches boiling point (I use our electric kettle) pour it over the fish and allow it to soak for about 15 minutes or until it’s cool enough to work with. This water will help remove most of the “salt” that was used to cure the fish, or you’ll be stuck with a very salty dish. Not only does the hot water help remove the excess salt, it also makes the fish a bit tender and easier to shred. Drain and rinse with tap water, then shred the fish into tiny bits. Try and squeeze out any remaining water that it may still have as best as possible. Now slice, dice and chop the pepper, onion, tomato, scallion, thyme, marjoram and garlic and add to the bowl with the shredded saltfish. Give it a good dose of fresh cracked black pepper and mix. Finally, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and just before it starts to smoke, pour the heated olive oil onto the everything in the bowl. Mix thoroughly and serve the fabulous Bul Jol.</span></div><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />

We have been getting a lot of "what is the BEST thing to do if I/we are only in Barbados for one day" queries. The best thing to do really depends on your personality type, so Melanie and myself decided to do a small questionnaire among various locals to come up with the top five things to do in Barbados (if you are only here for one day).<br />

Activity # 4 - <a href="http://www.harrisonscave.com/home.php"><u>Harrison's Cave</u></a> - This magnificent crystallized limestone cavern is a hit amongst both locals and visitors. It is claimed to be one of the wonders of the world with its pure waters and flowing streams which aided in the formation of the stalactites and stalagmites. Approximately 15% of locals said if they were here for one day this is what they would like to see and experience. Especially with their new eco-adventure tour you actually get to hike through the cave itself!<br />

Activity # 1 - Tour the island - This can either be by car or bus, and majority of locals recommended visitors do this on their one day stop! If you are more of the adventurous type rent a car for the day and explore the island by map. On the other hand if you don't want the responsibility of driving or have a fear of getting lost, there are many tour companies such as Coconut Tours, Island Safari and Adventureland which do the driving for you! Some of the sights that you have to see are <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2011/10/hill-once-lined-with-cherries.html"><u>Cherry Tree Hill</u></a>, <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2011/11/off-beaten-track-cove-bay.html"><u>Cove Bay</u></a>, <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2011/10/rescued-barbadian-site-morgan-lewis.html"><u>Morgan Lewis Windmill</u></a>, Hackletons Cliff, St. Johns Parish Church, <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2011/11/church-perched-on-horse-hill.html"><u>St. Joseph Parish Church</u></a>, <a href="http://loopbarbados.blogspot.com/2011/11/rugged-coast-of-bathsheba.html"><u>Bathsheba</u></a> and Cattlewash.<br />
