Took a Caribbean break from sub-zero temps recently. Found "Orchid World" on Barbados. Amazing collection and beautiful grounds, if you're ever in the vicinity.

I'll bet it felt good to get some sunshine. Isn't our weather lovely.......NOT!

No-Pro-mwa, yes, it was a shock to step outside the airport into a blizzard - "I'm not in Orchid World anymore!" ;-)

Is this the same place with the caves? I might be confusing it. The place I went to had an orchid house, and it was the first time I smelled an Oncidium. I have been to Barbados 4 times, but the last time was maybe 12-13 years ago. Its a beautiful island.

Tindomul,
Not sure if there were caves in the area. It is a unique island in the Caribbean as it is a coral uplift instead of volcanic. The ship docked in Bridgetown and Orchid World is about 8 miles inland, basically the middle of the island. It was my first time there- would love to go back and spend more time there instead of just day excursions on the cruise.
