Barre de l'Isle - into the Rain Forest
Published: May 6th 2013Central America Caribbean » Saint Lucia
May 5th 2013
I slept through to the alarm this morning. When I awoke, the sun had been up for some time and was already hot. Sneaking out from under the covers, I showered and went for breakfast. Fresh pineapple was on the menu today as was watermelon. This was followed by coffee, and a mushroom and onion omelette. Bread and banana provided the finale. Back in my room, I emptied the fridge of my frozen water and ensured it was hidden from the sun in my backpack. After liberal coverings of sun cream, I donned my hat and headed down to meet my driver. There are not that many roads in St. Lucia (it’s only 27x14 miles) and again, we headed through Castries, by the hospital in Cul de Sac and up into the central hills. Today, this ... read more

Hello everyone, HAPPY Cinco de Mayo! I just can not seem to stop smiling! This is the best idea I have ever had. Living here is just HEAVEN! So much to see, so much to do. I actually am having trouble sitting still. It's just hard to realize that I really don't have to do some each and everyday. I mean seriously when I'm watching TV or just sitting on the balcony I think I should be out doing something lol! But I'm learning and just so so relaxed its fantastic! For those of you not on Facebook the below link will give you a good idea of what my life is like down here. ... read more

May 5th 2013
This am we awoke in the 3's to Olly singing to us cheerfully 'You're a Trouble-maker!' Usually this is such a welcome noise but not this am!! We had had about 4 hours sleep and were not ready to get up so we waited until the last possible minute and threw on some clothes, packed up and off we went. Today is all a bit of a daze really and not very exciting so will just give a brief overview. We all piled in taxis as we had done yesterday with our bags all tied on the bag of each card and we dopily convoyed to the bus station that we waited hours at on the way to Roatan so we knew it well. It was all shut up at this tie of them and so ... read more

Fond d'Or Jazz - It's really a Party

May 4th 2013
The sun streamed through my window; another day in paradise was about to begin. I had a lazy breakfast in hot sun, with plenty of watermelon (my favourite) and coffee, all accompanied by the sounds of Abba. Music appears to run through everything here. No matter where you are, music can be heard and folk can be seen dancing to the sounds of the Caribbean. By now, the sun was getting seriously hot and, with a little time before my transport arrived, I opted for a soak in the pool. I'm definitely not a pool person and don't really like swimming, but there are times when it is more pleasant in the water than out of it. Today was one. The trees and flowers looked different from this vantage point. I seemed more insignificant down at ... read more
Falling In love with caye caulker

May 4th 2013
I instantly fell for caye caulker, there isn't a lot to do on the small Belizean island but its one of the most mellow and relaxed places I've been. The motto of the island is go slow and the locals will constantly remind you of this. The first day we slept in before walking around the island. This didn't take long so we headed up to the split, a spot in the north of the island where a hurricane tore the island in two. It's a popular spot for young people to lay in the sun, drink at the bar or to take a dip in the tropical fish laden blue waters. We ran into the Aussies from the boat and joined them on the old concrete jetty, now bent and fallen down in places. they ... read more
Day 28: Leaving Roatan and Travelling to San Pedro Sula :(

May 4th 2013
We all woke up today really not wanting to leave our lil paradise island of Roatan! But unfortunately it was time. Ben woke up inspired to go for a run!! So on his running shoes went (he is determined to prove to me how much of a necessity it was for him to bring 4 pairs of shoes!) and off he went. He said the first half was lovely running across the beach but then it was all in a head wind comin back so he was completely knackered but felt great for doing it afterwards! Every who saw him out running was very impressed! We had the morning to wander round so we got up and headed to Earth Mama's again for breakie this time. Again we found more people from our group there! We ... read more
