Bel Jou Hotel Castries

... and we had to take the 6:30 PM flight which arrived in St. Vincent too late for the last ferry. Liat was generous enough to supply accomodations in St. Vincent. We were very sad to lose a day in Bequia, but the evening turned out to be a great experience...<br><br>We stayed at Bay Hill Towers. We were a little apprehensive after the day of disappointment with Liat and the ride to Bay Hill was dark (and a bit scary for us, sorry Bailey). It turned ...

... floor overlooking the pool and ocean. Rodney Bay area was a bit too tourista for us. It was reminiscent of spring break. To be fair, we did not have an opportunity to explore outside the immediate area. We had our first chicken Roti at Lime- average. Spent the morning on Reduit Beach in St. Lucia. Very nice and relaxing.<br><br>

... beer drinking, in a good will effort to boost the local economies. We are a non-profit (all funds will be spent)!!! Great opportunity for you to get a tax break before the year is up.<br><br>www.Steve&amp;ToniaAreThirst y.com<br><br>BTW, we are no longer virgins (that is Bermuda Triangle virgins). Oh, and Delta's WiFi worked for about 10 minutes.

... our excitement! After two rum and cokes, I realized there was more rum than coke and made a note to self for rest of the week to be a little careful as the St Lucians don&#8217;t do things by half here!<br> <br> Ti Kaye bar view<br> We then drove for about 1hr 15 mins to Ti Kaye Village, a beautiful hotel with the rooms set like little cottages on the hillside, some with sea views. My room had a terrace ...

... through the rainforest. <br><br>Now I wouldn&#8217;t describe myself as an adrenaline seeking, adventure kind of girl. Although I enjoy keeping fit and trying new things, past experiences of trying more adventurous activities have not been that successful. Whilst horse riding in the New Forest my horse bolted. Whilst sea kayaking in Mallorca I had to be rescued when I beached myself on some rocks ...

... be seen on the island. <br><br>The capital of St. Lucia is Castries where 50,000 people live whereas 160,000 live elsewhere on the island. It measures 14 miles (east/west) and 27 miles (north/south) and English is the official language. The island draws tourists from around the world who come here for its exotic tropical landscape, superb beaches, crystalline waters, colourful marine life and lets not forget, romance.<br><br ...

... to us some interesting information about the banana crop as well as some history about the transition from sugar plantations to banana plantations. Continuing on, we finally arrived at the little fishing village of Anse La Raye. We were only going to be here for a quick 20 minutes to use the restrooms and to have a quick look around. Like the previous stop that we made, we weren't the only van to stop. About 10 other vans stopped here, all at around the same time and for the ...

We began the day by having some breakfast. Yes, I made it to breakfast. We got off the boat and walked towards town and came across an open air market. Half was a farmers market and food mart and the other half was a local crafts market. All of us picked up a few things including the local hot sauce since we didn't have time to actually eat any of the food. After an hour ashore we quickly headed back to the boat to get ready for the afternoon wedding. When we went ashore ...

After a long trip we arrived at Tikaye resort. It was just as there web site showed. We were greated with free drinks at the bar. Good for me, bad for Sherry as she was sick from the days travel. They took us to our cottage and we rested for a bit. The room was nice, just as pictured on the web. We went to dinner at about 7:00. We ...

... how to prepare it. Fruit and vegetables are expensive and of pretty poor quality, most everything is imported and there is no great variety. Coming from South Africa, where there is a huge choice of quality produce and then Brazil, where the fruit is amazing, the Caribbean is a big disappointment in this regard. The people of these islands are most charming. Cheerful friendliness abounds but not a whole lot gets done and this accounts for the high cost of goods and services. Typical ...
