Graeme Hall Swamp
Not far from Bridgetown, in the parish of Christ Church, is the
largest expanse of inland water on Barbados. The expansive Graeme
Hall Swamp, with red and white mangrove trees, is a natural habitat
for more than 40 species of birds. Government plans to develop much
of the area have unfortunately forced the Graeme Hall Nature
Sanctuary to close most of the park to visitors, but the Lakeside
Lawns is still open and a pleasant place for a picnic.

Money
The Barbados Dollar (BBD) is fixed to the US Dollar at a rate of
Bd$1.98 to US$1 and does not fluctuate. Its rate is relative to
other currencies fluctuations based on the particular currency's

the island, and well-known international credit cards and
travellers cheques (best carried in US dollars to avoid additional
charges) are accepted in most stores and restaurants. Banks and
ATMs are freely available and cash withdrawals can be made.
