Caribbean Cruise April 2013 - Castries, St.Lucia Page |
Castries, St.Lucia
Saturday 13th April 2013
Castries Harbour Southside
The Pirate Harbour on the North side
|
Castries has a very grand harbour entrance. The pirates must have loved it, as there is a side harbour in which they could probably conceal themselves from anyone just looking in the main entrance. I went into town to take photos. It is nowhere near as attractive closer than from the sea. There were both open-air & indoor markets & I can't resist a market. I snapped a lot of slums & went into areas where the locals wondered what I was doing there. Interesting, though. There were some murals on walls. |

We went on the "Rainforest Adventures" trip which can be seen on this link.
The show was on a Tropical theme & it was tropical dressing-up night. Jen had told me the show was 'rubbish' but it was not bad at all.
