Southern Caribbean Cruise - St. Lucia

Today we take a tour of St. Lucia through Cosol Tours.  Claude-Jean is our tour guide for the day.  We leave the ship after checking e-mail and learn that things are progressing for Lisa but no baby yet. Hopefully there will be news by the time we get back on ship. 

View of St. Lucia from the ship's deck


St. Lucia is mostly rainforest


Main export - bananas!
Main import - tourists!


Banana plantation
We sampled the sweetest bananas ever!


I regretted not buying this basket from this young boy.
Don't know how I would have gotten it home, but
at least he would have been a little richer.


Claude-Jean showed us a new way to open up a beer bottle.


We tasted the local fruits, breads, meats, and candies.


Our first view of the Pitons



The world's only drive-through volcano

The Angell waterfall pose!

We take a small water taxi over to a beach
nestled between the two Pitons.

Chillin' on the beach.
We wanted to snorkel but the red flag was up on the beach
as there were jellyfish spotted in the waters.

We return to the ship to learn that
Enzo Charles Anderson was born today on
Thursday, December 17.
That night after dinner Ernie bought a bottle
of champagne to toast his birth!
