Caribbean Bound - St Lucia - 8

A new day and a new destination.  I and a few others have started getting up early and having coffee while we approach our port of call each day.  A chance to chat and view our destination.  St Lucia is basically mountainous.

The Pitons

Airport at the harbour

Today while some of the group are off to climb mountains, bathe in mud, and scuba dive, we are embarking on a pirate ship adventure.

The cruise took us down the coast towards the Pitons, we swam off the ship, saw flying fish(only a couple), walked the plank, fired the cannons at lookie-loos from other boats...what fun.  All this while the crew entertained us, kept our glasses filled with rum punch, and listened to island music.  Very infectious for me although most of the tourists just sat there...

We returned to port where we relaxed for a couple of hours before heading back ashore to pick up a geocache and attend an event.  We got to meet a couple from another cruise ship and exchanged pathtags as well as a young fellow and his family from the Netherlands who were staying on the island. 

Soon we set sail for another night at sea and the adventures on board continue....
