Day 86: St. Lucia



We were a bit sad this morning to see that we were docked at the freight port at La Place Carenage in Castries once again (I think we were docked here two visits ago). The P&O Azura and a Fred Olsen ship were docked at the cruise ship pier at La Pointe Seraphine. We had planned to walk to Vigie Beach again, but the extra distance to walk around the harbor to get to the other side before we could then begin the walk to the beach changed our minds. Instead we decided to figure out the local buses today, and set out mid-morning to do that.
