St. Lucia
After Grenada, St. Lucia was our next stop. It was in this tiny island nation where we signed up for our most expensive excursion yet. We wanted to see the Pitons and we went to see it by yacht. Had we known there was another excursion to the place by bus earlier on, we would have taken it instead so could have seen more of the island. "Oh well. We'll just have to go back," I say.

The smell of the steam went far and wide. It really smelled as if somebody just f-----.
"Can you spot the goats?" I couldn't believe they went as close to the steaming and boiling sulphur openings.

The poinsettia. How apropos. We were there over the Christmas holidays after all.
