Now it's been 10 days since the return from our island holiday and a recap is overdue. To start, here are a few general snaps from our trip, commencing with St Lucia:
 |
| Drinking St Lucian beer minutes after arrival. Named after the mountain that we conquer the next day |
 |
| View of the south-western town of Soufriere, our home for 3 days |
 |
| Those ninjas are crafty - had to cross the Pacific, then sneak through the Panama Canal |
 |
| St Lucia's twin peaks - Gros Piton (foreground - we climbed this one all the way to the top!); Petit Piton (background) |
 |
| Mad view from our hotel balcony. This is Petit Piton - very steep and unclimable unless you are an expert |
 |
| Gratuitous sunset shot |
 |
| View of Petit Piton from the half-way mark (~1500ft) on our Gros Piton climb |
 |
| Spear fisherman and his catch |
 |
| Grey beaches of Anse Chastenet |
 |
| City life in Rodney Bay - which lies in the north-eastern corner of the island |
 |
| Tanker, cruiseliner, speedboat and sampan |
And followed by scenes from Barbados:
 |
| The main agenda on our Barbados leg of the trip (separate post to follow) |
 |
| We missed the dolphin skinning |
 |
| Catamaran cruising |
 |
| Waving to the Emir of Qatar on his "little" boat (which had a helipad and helicopter!) |
 |
| Bajans take dominoes as seriously as they do cricket |
 |
| Which cut would you be getting today? |
sorry about your granny- I missed your post, about the frustration of being separated from your family during this time, but she was an awesome lady!
ReplyDeleteYour trip looks otherworldly- the landscapes in St. Lucia are incredible! And I stayed in Barbados several years ago- I loved the laid-back vibe in the neighbourhood I was living in (I swear that barbershop house is identical to the lovely cottage we stayed in, just a stone's throw from the beach!)
So envious you lived in Barbados! We have never felt such a strong attachment to a place we have only holiday-ed in (well apart from Paris). We can't wait for next April when we return.
DeleteOh and the barbershop IS a stone's throw from Dover Beach in the South!
