Costa Fascinosa is a cruise ship of the Genoa-based Costa Crociere company. It was ordered in October 2007 and built at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera. It entered service on 5 May 2012. The names Costa Fascinosa and Costa Favolosa were selected through a competition. The choice of names was guided by approximately 40,000 travel agents in over 40 countries, who submitted more than 16,000 possible pairs of names for the two ships. In the end, twenty-five pairs of names were published on the World of Costa website, where visitors were invited to choose their favorite pairing, and after more than 42,000 preferences expressed, in the end the names “Favolosa” and “Fascinosa” were the winners.

Dream sea: Carlisle Bay on the island of Barbados. One of the most beautiful beaches I have visited in the Caribbean is definitely the beautiful Carlisle Bay on the island of Barbados.

The origin of the name “Barbados” is somewhat controversial. The Portuguese, on their way to Brazil or the Spanish, are credited with being the first Europeans to choose the name for the island. The name Barbados is said to derive from the Portuguese term os barbados (the bearded ones), given to the island in 1536 by Portuguese explorer Pedro A. Campos because the long, hanging aerial roots of the bearded fig trees (Ficus citrifolia), native to the island, looked like “beards.” The name the Arawak natives gave to the island was Ichirouganaim.

Dream beaches: the iconic Carlisle Bay in Barbados. Last year, around this time, I was about to leave for the Caribbean by ship and arrive in these dream places. One of my favorites is without a doubt the island of Barbados with this beautiful cove called Carlisle Bay with Bebbles Beach. Yes, I admit, I used the HDR function of the Gopro which emphasizes the colors a lot but don't think that the reality is very different. Watch the videos below if you don't believe me!

Un fiore giallo nella spiaggia di Accra a Barbados nei Caraibi. Cosa c’è di bello delle spiagge tropicali e caraibiche è che molto spesso, accanto alle distese di sabbia, crescono piante verdi che spesso hanno dei fiori bellissimi. E’ il caso di questo fiore giallognolo che ho trovato e fotografato nella bella spiaggia di Accra nell’isola di Barbados.

Dream beaches: Accra Beach in Bridgetown, Barbados. I can't get out of the ship very much, but when I do, I always try to go to the beach (being in the Caribbean...). A few months ago I visited the beautiful beach called Accra Beach (or Rockley Beach), a few kilometers from the port of Bridgetown on the island of Barbados. I think it's useless to explain much about this beach: you can understand everything from the pictures!

Beer is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the fermentation of malted barley wort, flavored and bittered with hops. Beer is one of the most widespread and oldest alcoholic beverages in the world. It is produced through the alcoholic fermentation with strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Saccharomyces carlsbergensis of sugars derived from starchy sources, the most used of which is barley malt, or germinated and dried barley, often simply called malt. Wheat, corn, rice are also used - the latter two especially as additions in industrially produced beers - and, to a lesser extent, oats, spelt, rye. Other less used plants are cassava root, millet and sorghum in Africa, potatoes in Brazil and agave in Mexico.
