Just gave them another ring! :)

 

 

 

 

"Can you give me an approximate opening date for the caves,please?"

 

"Ummm...." long silence....

"Ummmm.. We'll soon be making an announcement in the local newspaper!"

 

"And what if I'm in.. in Utah?"

 

"Hello?"

 

"What if I'm not on the island of Barbados? How will I know?"

 

long silence...not pregnant with info:rolleyes:

 

"Lady, I'm trying to keep the world informed on your behalf!

Can you give me even an approximate date for re-opening:

- end of January? middle of February, end of March?" I suggested..

hoping to elicit a courageous response.

"People overseas don't have The Nation(local newspaper) to read your announcement" I continued

- I think that last bit was completely over her head?

"Sorry, I just can't give you a date" she sez..

 

"Thank you for your help: those on the internet will be glad to know. Bye!"

And there you have it, boys and girls.

That's the up-to-the-minute statement from Harrison's Cave.

Run down to your local newspaper store

and have them order daily copies of The Barbados NATION newspaper

so you can keep an eye out for the big announcement.

 

My advice to any of you standing on one leg,

or holding your breath

is to EXHALE NOW!:)

The leg bit...you can hold out another day or so, I'm sure.

Be brave.

 

 

Thank you for your continued interest

but it ain't lookin like much is going to happen anytime soon.

Apologies for my obvious sarcasm and rancour but...

I'm embarrassed! :o

 

 

If you want to call them directly,

please dial 1(246)438-6640 or /41

or 1(246)438-6643

Administration:Dis 1(246)438-6644

 

You may have better luck than I.

Please see my posting from Sunday Dec 30th.. re Harrison's Cave Reopening.

 

I read the article in the newspaper and would be surprised at how much isn't ready.. based on the article given on this post, it's not as much as what should have been done.. They say Phase 1 but I wasn't aware that from Jun 06 to Jan 08 it would have taken this long to only have done what they have done. I was there in April, so I'll report back if anything further has been really added on.

 

I say all that, but then this was the Barbados Government doing the work (even through China State Construction)so it could take the next 10years to get it done.
