Trip Report: St. Lucia {Gadling}

May 20th 2006 3:56PM My husband and I went to St. Lucia for our honeymoon for a week in December. We stayed at a sandals resort and loved it. Everyone was wonderful and nice. Very beautiful island. I had never dove before and St. Lucia was a perfect 1st dive for me. I was able to take 2 dives that week and feel in love with it. The rest of the trip was spent on the beach, water and sight seeing. The open market was a lot of fun and definately an experiance, be ready to barter and ignore the many "beggars".
We took a day long catameran trip down the coast to Soufries to see the walk-in volcano, sulfer springs and Piton mountians. It was all very stunning and well worth the trip. We also toured the botanical gardens and the Diamond waterfalls, off the beaten path but a unique and beautiful experiance. Definately a good way to learn the culture and the island.
If you can take the time, go. It's an amazing experiance.
