Horseback Riding in Barbados

Wow… what a great day. We were all supposed to sleep in this morning as we didn’t have to meet our tour until 8:45. We were all up by 6:30. Some not as bright eyed and busy tailed as others. Had breakfast and then went to meet our driver to take us out to the east side of the island for our ride – Atlantic Ocean side. My god it was hot – those poor horses. Unfortunately – or luckily for us there were no pictures of the mount-ups. We had a great ride thru the countryside and down to the beach. It was a two hour ride and most agreed it was a bit too long.. butt blisters, numb bum, knees that would not work and stiff backs were just some of the comments after the ride.
As the official tour guide I have just been issued a directive to ensure that tomorrow involves only a beach chair and drinks. Nothing too strenuous. They have to nurse their sore muscles and aches… Linda says sore BODY. I don’t think she has a part that doesn’t hurt.
Keep the comments coming. Feels good to be in touch even if we don’t care what the weather is like… we want to know that our money was well spent.
Kim – Roger and Arlene decided that AI or Cruising is totally like comparing oranges and apple. They are not the same. They like them both. That could be good news for you!!!!!
Jackie – Linda’s back is f**ked. But she’s a trooper. It will be better after a few drinks.
Wendi – your father is so much better once he hears from you. I think the first couple of days he is in Wendi Withdrawal. BTW – we do have video’s of the ziplining – take too long to upload. Also… your mother wants to know if you are showing Max & Sophia the pictures on the blog.
Starr – Little too much heat for Arlene.. she is fine today as you will see in the pictures. In fact she is here sitting beside me dictating her thoughts having yet another beer.

Forgot to say – DAVID – surprise surprise, had the only horse that almost got the whole group bucking. Pretty hard to stay in a line but not let one another’s horse sniff the other one’s arse. All this while keeping a tight rein, feet in stirrups (men aren’t used to that – eh girls) and watching the scenery. But all in all a great day.
Roger & Arlene thanks for the mom updates. Keep us posted.

Who is more tired.. Linda or the horse. Nite to all from all of us. Looking forward to beach tomorrow.
