St Lucia

The night before arriving at St Lucia was a big one for Harry he didn't come back to the room that night. I had no idea where he was, i went for breakfast alone before returning to the room, he still was no where to be found. I left the ship by myself, the first thing i did was went to a tour company that was offering yacht tours to see the famous Pitons ( two large volcanic shaped mountains that come straight up out the ocean. There was around 20 people on the tour mostly a younger crowd, the weather was perfect and the water was just amazing, i sat at the nose of the yacht for the hour cruise to the pitons. Once spotting the Pitons it felt like it took for ever getting to them, they just kept growing as we got closer, i was really disappointed because my cameras battery had died about 10 minutes before we reach them so i didn't get a good shot, only of my phone! We pulled into a small port close to the Pitons, the town was called Salfray, famous for its mud baths and open active volcano, they were both really interesting, shortly after we got in a tour van to a nearby waterfall, it was ok but compared to some i have seen on my travels so far it was nothing. Arfter getting back on the yacht we made our journey back stopping at a beautiful beach with great snorkelling, the second we showed up we had locals in kayaks come up to our yacht trying to sell coconuts and other things they had made. The funniest part would have been when the water police came and got a coconut each then drove off haha. We had local rum punch on the way back also going into a little bay where Oprah and George Clooney own houses. It was a fantastic day, quite expensive costing me $70 but well worth it. When returning to the ship, walked into the room to find Harry with his free room service sitting on his lap still in bed, we were laughing at how ridiculous the ship was, they treat you like kings.
