Catching up is hard to do....happy Friday y'all!
Hey everyone - today we are in St Lucia in the Lesse Antilles or more commonly known as the West Indies. I've either been too busy or incapable of finding good internet service to post all week. However, St Lucia is the place.
To catch you up, lets chat about St Thomas, last Monday, and the last place I posted.
We took advantage of Camp Carnival's all ages times that morning to do some shopping. Other than 4-5pm each day, Alyssa can spend all day in Camp Carnival if she or we wanted. Maria however is still too young with the program beginning at 2 years old. NOnetheless, each morning they have babysittig hours fro 645am to noon that we can drop Maria off for $6 per hour. Well worth us having a break.
So our first attempt at ths was Monday inSt Thomas (sorry for th typing, ths keyboard sucks).
My parents and us went shopping in Charlotte aAmelie, the capitol of the USVI. We also got to see quite a bit of the city and government buildings.
That afternoon we met the kids for lunch, relaxed for a few moments, and then got off th ship again - Jule took the kids to the buttefly world while I blogged.
All in all St Thomas was nice, and as I would soon find is true for almost all the islands, the people were great. St Thomas has a super honest taxi service as you book taxis through a government run agent explaining exactly where you want to go an what yo want to do an they have standard rates. This really puts one at ease using local transportation. On our way back from shopping, our taxi (which ar really big open air buses) had a driver who liked to be a tour guide as well. The best part here was that he was so eager to show off or collect tips that he not only pointed out siland features an government or historic sites, but also the KFC, the slums area, the local dump, how many square miles a small island was, the population of the jail, etc.
Very educational!
The temperature has been fairly consistent from island to island - the only difference being cloud cover and rain. Humidity is arond 80 percent. Temps ranging from upper 70s to upper 80s, but no where too hot and always a break. St Thomas seemed the hottest except maybe Barbados, but that might ave to do with us shopping in developed areas the entie time (ie concrete!).
Monday night brought our first dinne in the formal dining room and a disappointement. The asst waiter was sick (tooth ache) so we had horrible service. This is since improved.
Gotta hit blog.... time is out
