St Lucia- Castries

St Lucia
This is one island where we regret not having a longer stay for it is rightly labelled one of the prettiest in the Caribbean.

We do not have the time to try out the treetop canopy adventure where you swing through the rainforest on zip lines including for those of a less adventurous disposition in a gondola.

Instead we head for the beach taking a taxi from the port to Rodney beach. After all how can we have spend two weeks in the Caribbean without at least spending a few hours lying on a beach? Of course within an hour we are bored.

The sea looks tempting and we are puzzled by the lack of people in it. That’s when we make the discovery of a two-foot shelf, result of hurricane damage, which shifted the beach. Getting in the water is OK if a little tricky. Getting out required strenuous physical exertion for the strong undercurrents coupled with the shelf acted like a suction pad pulling you under.

I needed a strong push from Malcolm to extricate myself from the sea.
