St Lucia Wetlands Park
Après une matinée plutôt calme (ping-pong, si si), nous voilà partis dans l'après-midi pour Le Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park - Eastern Shore. Ça consiste à monter dans le plus gros 4x4 que j'aie jamais vu -avec un nouveau fou furieux du volant, ...
Ah les crocrocro
Matinée tranquille à base de ping-pong, et de "morning walk" gratos avec Sandile (au menu, zèbres et antilopes, la routine), et puis en début d'après-midi départ pour un tour en bateau sur l'estuaire. Pas mal d'hippos (mais la plupart immergés), ...
Luscious St Lucia
... the inevitable warmth and sunshine, once again in a port to which it was our second visit - Castries, the capital of the beautiful island of St. Lucia. We decided we'd just do our own thing this day, but I was on a quest - I wanted to get my hair put into ...
They Said It Was Impossible...(They Being Me)
We had nothing planned for our last day on Straddie. We knew we had to catch the bus at 1:50 to make it to the ferry, but that was as far as our plan went. There was talk the night before of going to the beach or a souvenir shop, but it was ...
This sailing lark is easy

Happy St. Patrick's Day from St. Lucia
Happy St. Patrick's Day Another beautiful day here in St. Lucia!! Not a dark cloud in the sky though the people here would love to see some rain. There hasn't been a good rainfall in over 2 months and it really is beginning to show. The vegetation is ...
Tales from the high seas
Well we made it!! What a great feeling arriving into St Lucia after an epic 2700 miles of sailing (we didn't use the engine at all). High and lows of course but overall a fantastic experience and am now keen to sail across the pacific. As I'm sure that ...
I Can Speak Whale!
Today was the last full day of lectures. We only have one more left, and that isn't until our second-to-last day here. As much as I enjoyed most of the lessons, I am really excited about what we'll be doing for the last week of the program, ...
Day 10

Gros Islet
Next stop was where the Blackcaps were playing their pool matches. I made the second innings of the NZ/Kenya game for the Kiwis second win. At the NZ/Canada game I met up with Brendon Kropp from summer camp and we partied in the stand with the other Kiwi ...

I don't like cricket... I love it!

Two weeks today we will be home and be thinking back to today and st Lucia. We went down to the south east of the island to visit a botanical gardens Mumuka. I think it is spelt. The guide was very good but this garden was not as good ...

Crocodiles and Hippotamuses
... to catch up on. So, I'm now in St Lucia which is on the East coast of South Africa and is situated in the Greater St Lucia Wetlands National Park. Here, there is more chance of being charged by a hippo or bitten by a croc than being mugged. Thus, I have ...
