Good morning from St Lucia on Arcadia November 2018 , we went on a private excursion to the pitons and snorkel between them, and a lot of other stuff like the mud baths , volcano, banana plant, local food tasting and lots of rum tasting.

I noticed one of the photos of Arcadia was taken after the rum tasting. Must be pretty strong stuff😉😁

Gorgeous pictures this morning that bring back happy memories of the week's holiday that we had at Morgan Bay in 2000 and the visit in 2016 while on Adonia. We are very fond of St. Lucia.

On our first visit we did a trip to the Sulphur springs followed by the catamaran cruise back to Castries....sorry about sideways photos again!

 

 

i wish we were as agile as this now!!!

[Izzywiz]

In 2016 we did an excursion to the centre of the Island so these photos of Castries were taken from the vehicle

We had a guided walk through the rain forest to a beautiful waterfall before spending some time in Anse La Raye.

St Lucia,  Jan 2018,  Oceana,,  we were met in port same day by Britannia, we wanted to see the Pitons, so took the Cat trip for half a day, very enjoyable, once back in Castries we went off for a wander around port, very nice lunch in little rest/ bar, However we did notice that the "Brit crowd" also in port for  day, were notably just sitting in the various bars being rather loud. 🥱.

Looks like we did a wander around Castries in the morning and a bit of a hike in the afternoon, out to a small beach on the other side of the Airport Runway and a cemetary.   It was quite hot walking and not a lot to see on the way.

I think we had our swimming stuff with us but  maybe just went for a paddle as the proximity of the cemetary put us off a bit.   The shore there is eroding as  some of the graves are  now very close to the beach.

We have been to St Lucia a few times and enjoyed touring the island.Although we are not really beach people we really enjoyed our day at the Windjammer resort on our last visit.I have also included photos of a catamaran trip the previous visit

Docked in Greneda, off to Curacao tonight.

Good morning. We really enjoyed Grenada -nice people, lovely scenery, beautiful beach and clean city.

We did a tour out to the Annandale Waterfall...

Another popular port of call. First went there on Cunard Countess in 1990.

 

Lost track of the number of visits since then but here's a few images...

...and then to the Grand Etang volcanic lake and nature reserve...

 

 

 

 

This was followed by a visit to a rum distillery where for $2pp you could have a guided tour +rum tasting or for $1pp you could just taste the rum!!! My DH enjoyed the rum and I loved the groundnut cake which was a bit like a spicy nut brittle...

 

 

 

[Izzywiz]

Our last stop was, of course, Grand Anse beach...

 

 

 

 

It's a sea day for us tomorrow as we haven't been to Curacao but I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Lovely little Granada. Nice welcome. Saw these 2 old boats tied up.

 

Whoops.  Boats at At Kits, not Granada.

Another colourful island.

We went to Grenada just the once in 2008.  Everybody's photos look lovely. We clearly didn't see Granada at its best. It was a wet dull day, and they had recently had a storm so there was a load of drift wood on the beaches.  It was not the best visit.

Have been looking for some of Curacao and found a folder with 500 + Caribbean pics, so might have some there. Also found these for

Grenada  next to last one is the CMV Marco Polo scrapped earlier this year.
