St. Lucia
This place is unbelievable, it is truly a paradise that is still undiscovered. Peter has been many places thuough out the world and he still described St. Lucia as one of themost magical places he has visited. Monica was a litle scared when she first realized that their hotel was located right in the middle of the two massive volcano mountains known as the Pitons but after arriving the island culture took over and all worries melted away. This is a place that is a MUST visit! The people are so friendly and genuine. The motto of the island is "No pressure, no problem" and that's exactly how you will feel. Everyone smiles and rends you to enjoy the beautiful day.
We got to experience all parts of the island. We first started by going on a car ride along the mountains to the west side of the island, where our first hotel and the HUGE Pitons were located. It took us about 1.5 hours and Monica was so good at not feeling carsick! We arrived to Ladera Resort, no other words than paradise! Please enjoy picks of our hotel room and room view. The hotel's motto is a view with a room, and they truly mean it. Every room has only three walls and you are in the middle of the rainforest with The Pitons as your witnesses and the beach down below. Really we cannot stress enough how that view simply leaves you breathless. Just to warn all you future St. Lucia visitors, the room is completely open, so no air conditioer and lots of little bug friends at night, but even Monica, who hates flying critters and bugs, was just delighted and never complained.
The moral of this story: If you go to St. Lucia, you must go see the Pitons!!!
