Bridgetown.
A British couple who were shot and robbed in Barbados last month has told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) that they will return to the island.
Philip and Ann Prior of Suffolk, England were shot at Hincks Street, Bridgetown on March 17, as they return to the P&O ship.
Mr Prior, 72, was shot in the groin and Mrs Prior, 59, in her right leg.
The couple were treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, before they rejoined the ship to continue the cruise.
"There were a couple of places we didn't get to see," Mr Prior said. "I rather would have liked to have seen Virgin Gorda." (British Virgin Islands).
Mrs Prior, who said the couple had taken "every precaution" to avoid being robbed, is determined the experience will not deter them from future travels.
"I want to go back. Unfinished, as it were", Mrs Prior said. she said.
The Priors said they had written an open letter of thanks to a Barbados newspaper.
Mr Prior said: "There are a number of people who were so kind and attentive that you feel you'd love to go back and shake them by the hand in happier circumstances."
Two men from St Philip, have been charged with the robbery and remanded in custody.
