Baby pineapple with my little hands for scale

After my fairly chill day, we went out to Gros Islet to see Great Grandma's old house and the land the family are disagreeing about. The house has no roof, as uncle had to remove it to stop squatters living there. Errol told me all about the plans for the land and the issues around it.

I found out that the birds tweeting all night long that were keeping me up are actually frogs! Apparently they are tiny but so loud.

I've been bitten 8 times now by bugs despite spraying myself with deet as much as possible. I also have cuts on my leg from brushing past a pineapple bush - those things are really spiky! It's cool to see the baby pineapples growing though, some smaller than my hand. And within a few days they grow huge.

I also found out that St Lucia doesn't have sausages. The closest thing they have are chicken hot dogs! But the shops sell loads of them, and only chicken. Sounds a bit weird, but it tastes like a normal hot dog.
