St Lucia is a nice island - there's a really well preserved British fort (Fort Brimstone) and the batik factory (at Romney Manor) and some really nice beaches. But I've been here more times than I can count and we weren't feeling beachy so we decided to get off and walk around before settling in at the pool. We walked out to the port area and it was pretty slow at 915am - unless you wanted a tour, then it was hopping! After a bit of a walkabout in the sun, we wanted to get back on the ship - you'd think this would be easy, but the Carnival Breeze was docking, and with only 1 small narrow dock, they were keeping everyone off until the ship was tied down. So we watched - interesting perspective, since everyone usually docks around the same time in the morning so you are usually on your own ship waiting.
It was really freaking hot - but after about 45 minutes they were tied up enough to let us walk down the pier to our ship and get on. We then went upstairs and headed for the pool - it was a pretty nice day, with a few showers but nothing to get excited about. Everyone started coming back to the ship in the early afternoon, and the place filled up pretty quickly. Once the bad live music started, I headed back for the room...I'd learned that lesson already - when the music starts, run!
Dinner was as usual in Luminae, excellent. We seem to have a large number of liquids every night....
