St Lucia Day 4...

On our last full day in St Lucia, we planned an all day adventure where we explored the island.

We started our morning by heading out early to get our temporary St Lucian driver's license. From there, we hopped on dune buggies, headed through town, maneuvering through traffic all while on the wrong side of the road, wrong side of the driver's seat and operating a stick shift. It was a little intense until we made it out of town and into the mountains. But once we did, it was such a beautiful drive. We winded through the mountains, into the rainforest, in and out of villages and to our final destination which took about 1.5 hours.















Our second part of the excursion was zip lining through the rainforest. We went way up high, and then even higher, we went really fast, and then faster than fast until we had spent the whole afternoon riding all 12 zip lines through the tip tops of the trees. I think we all felt like little monkeys just having a hay day in the middle of a tropical nowhere!



































After our afternoon of zip lining, our guide took us over to a secret little waterfall in the rainforest. I was expecting something small and sweet- this waterfall was anything but that! We hiked down to a little creek and as we turned the corner, out of nowhere, this enormous waterfall appeared. Out of the four of us, I was the only one that was going to get into the water initially, however, after was saw how beautiful it was, we all got in!

















Our guide found a fresh coconut, cut it open and we snacked while everyone took pictures and dried off. Being the coconut lover that I am, I could not get enough- I have never had coconut fresh from it's shell like this, but it was delish!





After we packed back up, we all got settled in our buggies and started our long journey back to Castries. What a wonderful day we had exploring the rainforest, zip lining for the very first time and soaking up the beauty of St Lucia!
