There was juice in his beard. The author of this memory calls it juice so that the story remains legible. Nothing about the man was friendly. Except for his shirt. It said “Jamaica, no problem”. Only problem, we were in Barbados and not Jamaica. And “Saftbart” was only 20 centimeters from my face when he said: “You tourists don’t bring us anything good!”.
In retrospect, it was a wise move by the responsible authorities in Barbados to ultimately choose Rihanna as the face of the tourism campaign.
By the way, the name Barbados comes from the Portuguese – Los Barbados. It means, how could it be otherwise, “the bearded one”. If you look at the long roots of the mahogany trees on the easternmost island of the Lesser Antilles, it is very reminiscent of a long beard. The “juice” can simply be imagined without it.
