The morning we arrived to St. Lucia we decided that we'd tour the island with our new found friends. Both Morne and Wendy were superb bargainers and we were able to find a tour guide to give us a tour of the island for $20/ person - talk about a bargain!
The thing that I will remember most about St. Lucia are the roads. For those of us who love the nauseous feeling of your stomach dropping out from you, it was like being on a non-stop roller coaster at Busch Gardens. St. Lucia was gorgeous... once again, this island had more of a tropical rain forest feel to it than a beach vibe. We were able to visit the world's only drive-in volcano. The smells emitting from the vents were enough to put hair on anyone's chest. According to the guide, the large crater in front was caused by a guide who, during one tour when asked about the grounds stability, decided to jump up and down to prove the earth was solid. As he landed, the ground opened up and swallowed him to his chest. I guess that answered the question, no, the ground is not stable. Miraclously, the guide survived, albeit with severe burns, and now resides in a local fishing village.
