16th March 2024..St.Lucia

We arrive in St. Lucia, and plan to visit the market for a couple of hours.
However getting out of the port you have to cross many taxi drivers all offering tours of the island!
We got cornered by one and he offered two hours for 80 $ which compared to Costas 120€ each seemed good...so we took a chance, we got lucky, Pepper, our driver took very good care of us, showed us good and bad bits of the island.

I will try to fill in-between the pictures to say what they are.
As its a mix of pictures from different scources...they are not in order!
