If you are at a loss for something to do or like history, this is for you. Even if you go late in the day, you can return another day to finish up, if you keep your ticket, which is a good idea. The…Full review by Vanessa B
We're headed to Bridgetown as part of a cruise itinerary in January. How would you recommend getting to the GW House? Are there buses that go by there that are fairly consistent or is a taxi our best bet? Thanks! Julia

Hi, The white mini buses run by the local mini cab firm will cost you £2 Bajun dollars or 1 USA dollar, and number 11 from the town centre out onto the airport road is the one for you. You will need to debus at the stop by the race course and army barracks at Garrison Savannah. If you ask the driver as you climb aboard they will alert you to the stop you need to take as it draws near. It is a short walk from there and is well sign posted. Also by taking the local minibus you will obtain a true Barbadian experience as these are used by the locals themselves. Enjoy you cruise and stay in The lovely island of Barbados. Regards Tony

I believe the menu changes. During our December "Dinner with George Washington" my wife and I had the following 18th Century local dishes...First course was Split Pea and Eddo Soup. Second course was Dolphin fish (mahi-mahi) and Yam Pie with Plantains (this was our favorite). We then had Pineapple (an exotic fruit for the time) to cleanse our palates. Third course was Chicken Stew and Dumplings with Chriftophene. Dessert was Rumbullion'd Bread Pudding. It was an excellent dinner. The best we had in Barbados.
