We just came back from another wonderful week in warm tropical waters. The destination this time was St. Lucia, BWI. This was our second trip to St. Lucia, our first we spent at Rendezvous in Castrides, this trip we went to one of the Sandals resorts the Grande St. Lucian. Since we had been to St. Lucia once before I went with plans on taking a zip line tour and a rainforest tour, but the bus ride from the airport to the resort dashed any plans. The bus ride rivaled that of the old road to Negril from Montego Bay or the road to Whitehouse (also from Montego Bay) which is to say windy, hilly and done in a bus with a driver that is constantly passing slower cars despite the fact the road is hilly, windy and one usually insanely narrow lane in either direction. Oh, and of course they drive on the left. So the week was spent soaking up the sun while walking along the beach, sailing in a wonderful wind in a hobie that didn’t capsize at every opportunity and shooting the local birds. There were hummingbirds galore and royal terns and brown boobies and banaquits. The next few posts will be some of these and maybe a picture or two of the resort along the way.
