Harrison's Cave

Today was a great day of this trip. I think it will be very difficult to beat this day. This day. Is the reason I venture away from home from time to time. Days like today. Are not going to become part of your life. By watching T.V. sitting in your home. You have to go out and try to make it happen
After a decent breakfast made by Ramiro. We set out in our rent a car. To spend a second day exploring the island of Barbados. Our first stop was to find "Harrison's Cave". Which is one of the most important natural history sites. Located on Barbados.

As we left our guest house. I was driving our rent a car. Ramiro was working as the navigator. Both of us did a great job. As we found "Harrison Cave". The cave is located in the central region of Barbados. We did have to ask locals for directions at various points. As the roadways on Barbados. Are poorly marked. Which can make driving to a certain location. A huge challenge. I do really miss the help and support of my two GPS devises, driving here in Barbados.

Ramiro and I both enjoyed the guided tour of Harrison's Cave. They take you for a mile long excursion on an electric tram. Through Harrison's Cave. It is a rare opportunity to take an intimate look at nature in action. The Barbados's government has done a great job. In the preservation and presentation of this rare place.

The caves are naturally formed by water erosion through the limestone rock.[2] The calcium-rich water that runs through the caves have formed the unusual stalactites and stalagmites formations. Travel through the caves is by tram, at certain points during the tour visitors are allowed to alight from the tram and get close up to the formations. One main area of the caves is a huge cavern, termed "The Great Hall", measuring over 100 feet in height. After the Great Hall the tram stops at "The Village". At The Village some of the formations have joined together to form columns after thousands of years. Harrison's Cave is in the central uplands of Barbados. It is situated at 700ft above sea level. The three characteristics of the central uplands are gullies, sinkholes and caverns.
