We left Marigot Bay after a tremedous supper in the
Rainforest Hidaway restaurant , and we sailed a bit further down the coast to
Soufrierre , we were met by a boat boy about a mile out who was very friendly
and he escorted us to a mooring buoy in the bay ( I am sure we could have
managed but it was helpful and for a £1 was worthwhile ) we wanted to take Ian
and Tina to the botanical gardens so we went to a local hotel on the beach to
ask about taxis , they were very helpful and organised one for the next day , we
stayed on the boat during the evening as there have been thefts and you need to
organise a guard which we didn't want to do ,
we had a couple of cocktails in the beach bar
served by a lovely girl called Samantha and then went back to the boat for
supper .
We had a driver called Gus to take us to the
botanical gardens and the volcano and we really had a great time , nice leisurly
pace and then back to the hummingbird resort for a very late lunch... the whole
garden was alive with hummingbirds but they are as difficult to photograph as
dolphins .......
the snorkling off the back of the boat is as good
as the Maldives with beautifull corals and fish we didn't want to leave
but we wanted to show Ian and Tina Martinique. So a quick hop back up the
coast and then out into the big wide ocean towards Martinique ...here we
come........
 all these plants are just too much !!!!!! Blue Beyond is moored over on the far side of the bay , just under the
cliffs . |
