We did some port shopping, hailed a cab and spent 4 hours on a beach with sand, sun, and water. I think it was Dickensons Bay. It was fun. The taxi was 6-8 dollars per person...

We took a taxi to downtown. What an interesting ghetto. There are signs everywhere that say no peeing, no spitty, and no smoking. We were offered so much pot in this town we could of gotten locked up abroad. After an hour of turning down offers to sneak into a back alley we took a cab to another beach. Romney bay? I am not sure but it sand, sun and water. The taxis are quit expensive in St. Lucia so make sure you request a price before you get into the cab and make sure your driver is sober. The driver said there is no such thing as a DUI in St. Lucia cuz everyone is drunk.

I really really wanted to go to the Batik factory and Romney manor at this port. We got off and discovered it was going to be 40 dollars round trip in a taxi. NAh, that's to much for a cab ride. We got accosted by a company called "Go Bananas or Big Banana tours. Well for 20 pp we took a trip to the Batik factory and a tour of the entire island. It was awesome. It included a beach break.. We missed the beach break because our open air tour bus had a blow out in the middle of nowhereville. After close inspection we discovered that we were rolling through the volcanos with bald tires on a bus without a spare. To their credit they sent a back up bus to pick us up off the highway within the hour. It really was a good tour up until that point. I would do it again.

Wasted no time here shopping. We took a tour bus straight to Megans Bay.. Its a beautiful beach. The swells were well over our head d/t a rough windy sea day. It was still a nice day in the sun. They do not allow peddlers on this beach, so you can actually take a nap without someone wanting to braid your hair or sell you a conch shell full of pot.
