ST LUCIA
Rum shack!Docked early in Castries capital of St Lucia, another different island, very mountainous and approx 238 sq miles. Anyone looking for a woman here you could be in luck - 6 women to every man! The most famous landmark in St Lucia is the UNESCO site of the Pitons, two huge mountains on the edge of a bay that seem to rise straight out of the blue Caribbean waters. After we had been for a walk into the town we decided to book a catamaran, rather than a taxi, as the drive through all the mountains would take too long, and sailed down the lovely coast, passing beautiful beaches and fishing villages, lots of sheer cliffs and tropical vegetation. It was the best view of the Pitons from the boat, then we docked in the oldest town in St Lucia, Soufriere. After some leisure time here we sailed back to Marigot Bay for a swim in the pristine waters - Dr Dolittle was filmed here - met a lovely couple from Wales - who were on a different ship to us but had just flown down from Gatwick to do a weeks cruise around the Caribbean - rum punch served on
ST LUCIA
Our ship against the Thomson! the boat all afternoon - a true Caribbean experience! After a little too much rum and sun, we got back on board the Ruby Princess about 4.30 to set sail at 5.30p.m. Another wonderful day in the Caribbean!!
