ST LUCIA
Naturally beautiful
The people are some of the most kind and helpful I have ever met, always up for a laugh, and some friendly banter! The landscape is just so lush, the vegetation verdant, overgrown, and alive. With its vibrant flowers, cool sea breezes rustling the coconut trees and delicious fresh cuisine, St Lucia is truly the perfect Caribbean haven.

| The flora of St Lucia is unique, and very 'edenesque', don't you agree? |
I was fortunate enough to travel there with my family some time ago, and thought I'd share these snaps. We went last Winter, but as you can see from the photos, it really did not compare to the cold Scottish Winters we were used to! It was a steady 20-25 degrees when we were there, perfect enough for tanning, but not too hot so as to stop us from touring the island, and just about the right amount of sunlight for our sun-starved skin.
St Lucia is famous for its two 'pitons'; two volcanic plugs aptly named, the 'petit piton', and 'gros piton'. They tower to almost 800m above sea level. These two pitons are World Heritage sites in St Lucia, and contribute to the fantastic panoramic views on the small but proud island.
Although we went in December, St Lucia can be visited anytime of year, with average temperatures throughout the year reaching comfortable highs of 29 degrees, and rarely falling below 20. This agreeable climate guarantees relaxing and warm tropical holidays, filled with splashing and snorkelling, fun times and happy memories.
I would LOVE to go back one day!
