17th January
Today I have played truant from school – well – not really. Providing volunteers let the principal of the school know, we can then have time off for touring. So today I have been on a morning tour – called “Lushan country Life”. First call was an orchid culture centre. I have never seen such beautiful orchids and the technical work that goes on there is amazing. Then on to the Country Life Centre, to spend a most enjoyable 45 minutes. It was here I bought two bottles of banana ketchup, yes banana!!!!!! The morning flew by and it was back to our hotel to get ready for a visit on the Saga Pearl II cruise ship anchored in Castries, my word it’s all go here. On boarding the ship we were welcomed with champagne (more than one glass I might add) next it was lunch outside on deck which was lovely. In no time at all we were boarding the bus to return to our hotel, it was only a short visit to this lovely ship but well worth it. Another great day, morning touring, afternoon on the Saga Pearl II, can’t be bad. Tomorrow (Tuesday) it’s back to school.
