Guten Morgen...
heute wird ein klasse Tag. Es werden 30 Grad erwartet und strahlende Sonne. 🌝🌞

In den frühen Morgenstunden hat die MS 5 ein Notrufsignal erhalten und kurze Zeit später einige Segler die wohl gekentert waren aufgenommen. Dadurch sind wir verspätet auf St. Lucia angekommen. ⛵🚢

Aber nichts desto trotz; die 🌝 war bereits da.
Gegen 10.00 Uhr traten wir unseren 2. Ausflug an. Mit der Bimmelbahn durch St. Lucia.
Da diese Insel nicht sehr groß ist, war das nach 2 Std. auch erledigt.

Der Nachmittag gehörte dann wieder dem Schiff und unserer Lieblingsbeschäftigung: Chillen! Bei einem guten Essen 🍴wird der Tag dann gut und entspannt ausklingen. 🍸Leggi altro

Durch das wilde St. Lucia
12 aprile 2019, Santa Lucia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
St. Lucia - ein lang gehegtes Sehnsuchtsziel auf unserer Liste. Das Besondere? Urwald und Strand - das gibt es in der Karibik deutlich seltener, als man es sich vorstellen mag. Einen Traumstrand gibt es an jeder Ecke, mit saftig grünem Palmenhain dahinter aber fast nirgends. Hier auf St. Lucia schon! Auf dieser wilden, immergrünen Vulkaninsel haben wir einen kompletten Tagesausflug gebucht und waren 8 Stunden unterwegs. Los ging es vom Hafen zu den berühmten Wahrzeichen der Insel - den beiden Lavafelsen - Deux Pitons.Leggi altro

A very nice BBQ dinner was served on the pool deck, with music from the 70s and 80s 😊
夕飯に特別な室外BBQ パーティーが行なわれました。プールの前にライブバンドの演奏は70年代と80年代の音楽でした。😊

Ok, so this is cheating a little bit. This was our first trip together post-pandemic. The genesis of the trip was way back in May 2020 when we'd planned to travel to Japan to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Over the following two years, it was a trip to the Maldives, a couple of weeks in South Africa, a backpacking adventure across Bali, and a last-minute Thailand trip. Finally, FINALLY - we got to travel in January 2022, and decided that a couple of weeks sitting on a beach with cocktail in hand was probably what we needed...

We didn't exactly 'do' a lot on this trip. Hectic schedule of sleep, breakfast, nap, late morning rum punch, lunch, nap, mid afternoon rum punch, probably another mid afternoon rum punch, nap, rum punch, dinner, rum punch, sleep. I mean - now I see it written down, it's making me sleepy....Leggi altro

Today is Thursday 21st February and today we dock at our first Caribbean island the island of St Lucia.
The last time we were here was two years ago and I'm afraid the overall impression of the town we landed at, the name of which escapes me, was not a good one it appeared to be a mixture of the worst places in Wigan and Bradford, but with sun.....
We were twice warned about the dangers of walking in certain areas, once by the police and once by a local barber.
It sort of ruined all the brochure pictures and romantic island blurb....Lol
Anyway, yesterday was nice the weather was once again fantastic, and I did another 4 hour marathon sunbathing session with Sheila, John and Jennifer, but with a slight difference, they were in the sunshine and I was in the shade and even in the shade with the ship doing about 17 knots it was still hot hot hot.
In the afternoon we bombed out of the music quiz only finishing third and there's a new champion team so now we're gunning for two teams...Lol.
In the evening we first of all watched the duo, who were once again fantastic, we asked Kandy to sing "Babooshka" by Kate Bush which she did brilliantly well.
Then later we went to the show which was great we first of all had the classical pianist do three numbers, then Gary Ryan the Neil Diamond tribute act did about four numbers and finally Mr Jimmy James finished the show of with another fantastic set, not only is he still a cracking singer who can belt them out with the best of them but he can still do the moves on stage which for a 73 year old is amazing........Leggi altro

We took the final bus tour of our trip today. We went down the west side of the island and saw the "drive in" volcano, some botanical gardens and waterfalls and had lunch at an old plantation. Lots of fun but riding around those hills in a little bus was hair-raising. Better to sleep through it as I did. :-)Leggi altro

After the photography department hosting a very successful Under the Sea party last night I was very tired this morning. I however had a tour to get to that I was very excited for. Today's tour was an aerial tram ride and then a bit of a hike through the woods. I included a picture of the car we were in. It was not very wide with two people sitting side by side and did not look all that safe. It however was a very smooth ride and it was really nice. The ride took over an hour and I got some really good photos. After that we did the mini hike that took about half an hour. Which was not the easiest walking path but had some great plants and flower to take pictures of.Leggi altro

There will have been a few disappointed passengers this morning. The St Lucian authorities came up with new regulations at the last moment. Only those passengers booked on an organised shore excursion and those booked on tours with a government approved taxi service were to be allowed on shore. All the others would only be allowed to enter the cruise terminal building where there are a few shops. Fortunately Erica and I had booked on a ship’s excursion to the west and south of the island to walk a nature trail alongside the Pitons and then stop for a Creole lunch. So we set off in the rain by small coach along very narrow and twisting roads but through lovely countryside. The walk itself was quite steep in parts and by this time the sun was out, but the views from the top of the trail were fantastic. We then stopped for lunch in a small restaurant alongside the entrance to Hotel Chocolat’s cacao research centre. I couldn’t confirm that this is the same company as Hotel Chocolat in the UK, other than they are involved in chocolate. It was a good day. On arrival back tried to obtain wifi in the terminal building but pretty useless.Leggi altro

Berthed alongside the quay at 0800 hrs. We had an organised tour booked to the beach at 0845 hrs and it was obvious that we were never going to make it ashore in time. Disembarkation was chaotic due to a number of factors and we did not arrive at Harbour Lights beach until approx 0930 hrs. However, after one or several rum punches, a good swim and snorkel and a very nice conversation with a young American couple next to us, we felt very relaxed. The temperature was 31 degrees and by the time we had to leave at 1245 hrs, it was becoming too hot to lay there. Some interesting news. On my way back to the cabin (Erica had diverted somewhere else), I saw three or four crew members further down our corridor wearing full PPE equipment and spraying the corridor. When Erica finally made it to the cabin, she said she had seen some crew members being taken off the ship and one on a stretcher. She had been told by somebody else who had heard it from somebody else that the crew members had been diagnosed with COVID and were being taken to the Queen Victoria, berthed around the corner from our ship, which is being used as a hospital ship for crew members! No doubt tomorrow there will be another story. Next stop Castries, St Lucia, arriving tomorrow morning.Leggi altro

Our final day out together. We headed to the closest beach which was Vigie beach. Definitely not the nicest beach we’ve been to but we walked down past all the chairs and had a nice spot under a massive tree all to ourselves. I rained off and on but we were wet from swimming anyways.Leggi altro
