Ian Hickling is calling home this morning from the famed resort island of Barbados, off the north-east coast of South America, our in the Caribbean Sea about 1000 kilometres from the coast of Venezuela. Those of who've not been to Barbados may think it's tiny, but in fact it's the size of greater Wellington if you add in the Hutt Valley and Porirua.
Barbados is an independent British Commonwealth nation. Bridgetown, the capital, sees a lot of cruise ships, and tourists enjoy the brilliant beaches, and quite a lot besides.
