St. Lucia - The Reef
May 13, 2007

We arrived at 6.00pm, local time, after what turned out to be a 13 hour journey rather than the eight and a half we were expecting. After a late departure we were diverted over Spanish airspace due to Air Traffic Control problems at Prestwick and there was also a short stop at Grenada. So it's chicken curry, local beer, rum punch and bed.

Lenny, the shower lizard!

The Reef is a little close to the airport but there are only three flights a day and well before bedtime... Normally. But we hit the sack pretty early and catch the last departure of the day going over. Once we get over the shock of that it's just heat, the rattle the two fans and getting tangled in the mosquito net that keep us awake.

We're up early, due to the 5 hours time difference, spotting a hummingbird from the veranda and finding a gecko living on the soap in the outside shower. The dawn chorus is mostly some birds that sound like a box of old squeaky toys! So we wait until breakfast is being served and venture out for fresh grapefruit, mango, guava, passion fruit and melon under a Sea-Grape tree. Followed by a bit of ham and cheese!
