Farewell .. Paradise

Friday, March 5

Unfortunately, today is the day we have to leave paradise.

When we flew into St Lucia, we arrived at the smaller airport in Castries. However, we are scheduled to depart from the larger airport in Hewanorra. But first, there is the small matter of a 2 hour bus trip across the island. The drive did allow us an opportunity to see more of the island.

The island is very hilly; it has so many groves (or are they stands?) of banana trees you can't count them all. There are also acres and acres of tropical rainforest around each bend and corner, and then around the next curve you get a glimpse of the blue Caribbean sea.

What a wonderful trip ...
