Villa Serrana  - So Beautiful! St. Lucia is a piece of paradise! 
​
These books are so helpful and with great advice. 
Here’s what we did: 

Activities: 
Diving – Went to hummingbird Resort + booked with action adventure divers. Snorkelers could also go on the trip. Chester was the lead diver and he was great! 
There are 4 of us (2 divers, 2 snorkelers) snorkeling was ok but not terrific – (not that many fish) 

Snorkeling: went to sugar beach + Anse Chastanet by water taxi. Caught the water taxi at Hummingbird resort. Spent 2 hours at sugar beach – very beautiful. Not a lot of fish, though. We wer then picked up + taken to Anse CHastanet. Again not a lot of fish but ok. Beautiful beach + the beach bar was great! Our water taxi drivers, Darvin + Shane, were awesome. Very punctual + knowledgeable about the area. We paid $240.00 EC for the all day trip. 

Friday Fish Fry in Anse La raye: such a quaint, beautiful little village. Had a great time eating fish at several different stalls, but not that many stalls were open – but still a great experience. 
Friendly locals. Also the fish fry seems to start a lot later than we expected – food wasn’t out till 7:30. 

Rainforest – Enbas Saut Trail. A beautiful hike in the rainforest. Janus set this up for us with Paul the driver + Douglas the guide. We didn’t feel we could handle the 2,200 steps down to the water all + back up (old, achy knees) but we took the trail into the forest + learned about the flora + fauna. Douglas was a great guide ( Don’t do this without a guide). 

Boucan  - a stunning restaurant at the hotel chocolat. An excellent dinner! The view is gorgeous in daylight – (it was dark by the time we got there). Highly recommend! 

Off to Barbados tomorrow – 
​
Thank you Janus! We had an absolutely fabulous time. we’ll be back to stay in one of your other amazing villas! Your hospitality was over the top!
