If the soul asks for fabulous landscapes, white beaches and lush tropical greenery, the "diagnosis" is clear: you urgently need to fly to Barbados. In the former English colony, located in the Caribbean, unique specimens of tropical flora and fauna have been preserved. English traditions are strictly followed here. Even the queen of Great Britain is the ruler of the island. On behalf of Her Majesty, the Governor-General administers the affairs.
Instructions
Step 1
The mild climate and cozy hotels often attract the attention of tourists, especially since Russians do not need a visa to Barbados, provided that tourists stay on the island for no more than 28 days. Unfortunately, not everyone gets there. The fact is that the island is very far away. It is impossible to fly from Russia to Bridgetown (the capital of Barbados), since there are no direct flights, but for a fee, you can create a complex combined tour. First you need to get to Moscow, then change trains in London, Paris, Frankfurt or New York.
Step 2
It is quite expensive to fly to Barbados via Europe. In London, you will have to use the services of British airways. Liners of other companies do not fly to the island. The same thing happens in Frankfurt, with the difference that the German airline Lufthansa flies to those regions only once a week. The flight through Paris will be as expensive and time-consuming as through the aforementioned London and Frankfurt. It is most profitable for Russian tourists to change planes in the United States. At New York City JFK Airport, you can purchase tickets for local airlines, which will be significantly cheaper.
Step 3
It is necessary to immediately understand that the flight will be long. On average, you will have to spend about fourteen hours on the road. And this is not taking into account the time spent on transplants. Landing at Grantley Adams, Bridgetown airport, you can relax a little, drink a cup of aromatic coffee and purchase the necessary little things in stores. Many people prefer to travel by ferry to long flights. This will require an American visa, but once you get to any port city in the United States, you can arrange a short cruise with a stopover at one of the most beloved Caribbean islands. The prices for this type of transport are quite reasonable.
Step 4
There are two ways to get from the airport or river station to the desired hotel - by taxi or by bus. You can catch a taxi at any time of the day. Only you will have to agree on the fare in advance - local taxi drivers do not have meters. Buses, on the contrary, run strictly according to the schedule, from six in the morning until midnight. Departure takes place every thirty minutes.
Step 5
Barbados is loyal to tourists, so it is not difficult to go through customs and border control, but there are a number of restrictions that visitors need to know. for example, you cannot bring your favorite dog to the island - entry with animals (any) is prohibited. Do not try to import any fruits and vegetables or their seeds.
Step 6
The import of alcohol is also limited - no more than 750 grams, you can take cigarettes, but provided that you are already 18, and that you are carrying no more than 200 pieces.
