St. Lucia

Fruit and drink boat

Hang on, it's going to be a wild ride.

Not exactly the fishing boat the envisioned

This was a second time to St. Lucia. During our 1st visit, we headed up the mountain on a windy road in a hot taxi to see the volcano and waterfall. It stunk like sulfur. MacDaddy got car sick. A local kindly picked him some lemon grass and told him to smell it on the remainder of the ride back to the ship. This time we headed to the Reduit Beach in Rodney Bay. D and the kids had someone take them fishing. Their lines tangled and no fish were caught. The whole family will always remember the beach doctor saying, "Ah Sh$t Mon".

Barbados

We return to Blue Monkey Beach

This was are 3rd time in Barbados. During this visit, we learned not to pay the taxi driver for your return to the ship in advance. Our driver was 45 min late for our groups pick up time. No one was happy and it was a quiet ride back to the boat. I bet no one tipped him.
