On Barbuda, we hike to the Caves at Two Foot Bay. A popular spot with locals for camping and picnicking, it is called Two Foot Bay because before the roads were built, the only way to get there was "on your own two foot". Visitors climb down into a circular chamber through a hole in the cave roof. I dangle ungainly, wondering if Princess Diana – who used to stay at the island's now-closed K Club – did it the same way.
