Home of Rihanna is pretty different to the other islands. While
most islands are or of volcanic origin and therefore hilly, Barbados is of
coral origin (about 90m corals) and therefore flat. In addition is it the most
developed island and has a busy airport (4 flights from London within hours plus good US connections). Both the
Spanish and the Portuguese were here but it eventually became a British colony
until independence in 1966. Barbados ranks ahead of the US in the
Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index of 2013.
