St Lucia - 15 December

Yesterday we sailed from Rodney Bay to a mooring
spot between the Pitons. The scenery is stunning, with a Piton towering
above us on either side and the area between coloured in so many different
greens. Last night we went for dinner at a restaurant called Bang, which
was open air and where there were acrobats, fire eating and local
music.

eaters
The food was delicious St Lucian fare and the
acrobats were incredible. The fire show included audience participation,
and Alice joined in:
Alice passing a firebrand up one of
the entertainers' backs, touching the skin
Juliet ate some fire (sorry, no picture of this -
you will just have to take my word for it) and survived without any
burns.
This morning we all swam to the shore (around 400m)
including Alice and Pip.

boat
We spent the day at the Jalousie Hilton, right next
to where Keoma is moored. There is a beautiful swimming pool and garden
area, shown in the picture below. Keoma can just be seen on a mooring, if
you look between the trees. To the left of the picture is Gros
Piton.
