Another hot day in the Caribbean and another town we've visited before. Except this time I don't think we've ever had a chance to look round. I know I've missed Castries in the past because of flying back to the UK, and I've missed it because I've been locked in the cabin with Peter when I picked up the dreaded norovirus. I think we've escorted garden tours from here too. So, as I said, never had a chance to look around the town.
We've managed to get out of tour escorting duties again so today is the day we get to look around. Like most Caribbean towns, there wasn't a lot for us to see. We wandered the streets, looked at a couple of parks and toured the craft markets. Actually, I'm being a bit mean about the craft markets - there is so much in there to buy, all of it brilliantly colourful and typically caribbean.
We completed the town walk in the morning, and so decide that the afternoon should be spent at the beach. We'd had such a good time yesterday with the snorkels at Bequai, we were hoping to repeat the experience. So we walked out again and took the long way, uphill, to get to Viggi beach. It's a little unusual in that there is a cemetary and airfield right alongside. We didn't hear any funerals, but every so often we could hear small, single engined aircraft race up the tarmac alongside us.
Sadly the water around this beach wasn't clear enough to see anything whilst snorkelling. But we enjoyed the swim and relaxation time anyway. Walking back, we got to see this Little Blue Heron, which I thought was brilliant. (Well, I would wouldn't I?)
We completed another lazy day in the Caribbean in a bar next to the ship, using the wi-fi. Tomorrow we are in Barbados where we get to do it all again. It's a hard life this, innit?
