Bathsheba

[bessinfl]

My sister and I would like to spend some time in Bathsheba while our ship visits Barbados in early December. We're not looking for a beach, but we do love a good view and something to eat and drink. We are thinking of taking the local bus from Bridgetown.
 

My question has to do with the difficulty in walking around Bridgetown. I think it's small, but how hilly is it? We may have some mobility issues, and I'm wondering if we will need to walk up steep hills or walk long distances.
 

Can anyone give us some advice? Thanks so much.

To assist.  The port is on the outskirts of Bridgetown.

There could be a 6 minute walk (able bodied) from the ship to the cruise terminal if no buggy’s are booked by ship.  
From the cruise terminal to the bus station is about a 20 minute walk (able bodied person), but the walk is flat all the way.  

At the bus station, purchase tickets at the kiosk, then go to the bus bay where seats are limited, and one may have to wait (stand) for 10/20 minutes.  
The steps on to the bus are quite steep and although other passengers may assist in boarding, there are no designated employees.

From the bus station to the old town centre is about a 15 minute walk (able bodied), again this is flat, but there roads to cross, traffic is busy, sidewalks are not wide, and some people may not respect one’s disability in a rush to get somewhere.

 

Suggest taking a tour, or a long lunch at a good restaurant.  If interested in taking lunch, could one post type of food and if inland or coast are requirements.
