Saint Lucia


Next stop.. St Lucia.. and this was our favorite! So beautiful! Nothing like we have ever seen before. We did not book an excursion through the ship and thought we would explore the island on our own... we are so glad we did. We came off into port and saw a group that was trying to sell tours of the island via speed boat. This was awesome because to drive from the port to the end of the island where the volcano and waterfalls were would take 2 hours. The motor boat took 30 minutes and we could see so many cool things.. like coves, bat caves etc.

What an adventure. We went into a few coves to check out the scenery, saw the bat cave and then docked to take a taxi to the active volcano.. very cool, but smelled so bad!!!!!!!!!! like rotton eggs! Then we headed to a waterfall area we could walk up to... the water was FREEZING... and then to a private beach where we could hang out and swim or chill at the beach side bar... you can probably guess where we ended up.. we had some yummy food and drinks and were even able to check email via the crackberry! :-) AWESOME DAY!



one of the many coves we took the motor boat into.


a local who makes his own hats and baskets... thought this was such a cool hat!




we are now at the end of the island and about to get off and go see the waterfalls and volcano.


Here we are at the active, smelly volcano!


A waterfall! Such COLD water but very pretty!

Here we are about to get back on our motorboat with the little village behind Mike.



And here is another view of the little cove we docked in...

Here we are back in port.. that is our ship in the background... This was the most amazing day!
