St Lucia - October '15

Half term holidays and a special trip to St Lucia for the family (except Hugo who is busy at Imperial engineering chemicals). Courtesy of BA and their Avios, we travelled in style for the first time as a family and the boys just loved it (funnily enough).

We arrived in St Lucia at 3pm and then we had the second treat of a helicopter ride to our hotel, The East Winds Inn on Gros Islet. 

The temperature was 30 degrees, the hotel small and friendly and we just knew it was going to be fabulous.

It's an hour and twenty to the hotel by taxi over rough roads. Or ten minutes by helicopter.

The Beach

The Beach

East Winds has two beaches really, we stayed on this beach, where there were about ten sunbeds. They were never all in use. True luxury is space.

As the sun began to set, some local guys asked the boys to play football. A couple of bamboos for posts and the game was on.
