Another week...another visit. This time our son Deny with his girlfriend Catherine. They took a well deserved break from their University studies to spend March break with us. As is often the case, our first stop was at the beach next to the Hewanorra airport.
Norm took a day off mid-week so that he, Deny and our friends Jan and Jana from Slovakia could walk the tallest Piton. It took them an hour and 50 minutes to reach the top. It's 2,619 feet tall so that's like hiking up three and a half CN towers.
I went zip lining through the rain forest with them...alot tamer than climbing the Piton. The wide variety of trees and different plant life are truly amazing.
Catherine realized one of her dreams by taking a day cruise on the Unicorn, a ship that was used in Pirates of the Caribbean and Roots. And to top it off, one of the extras from the movie is a deck hand on the ship. He posed with Catherine and Sarah, our roommates daughter. She was also visiting during March break with her boyfriend.
The ship stops at Anse Cochon and people can swing off the rope to go for a swim. Deny didn't hesitate to jump in.
We drove through Soufriere on their way back to the airport. Prince Charles and Camilla had just been through for a Royal visit. The city was all decked out to greet them. A number of streets had been repaved, buildings painted and some of the kids dressed in their traditional Creole costumes.
