The small city of Soufriere, on the beautiful isle of Saint Lucia, sits at the edge of a massive volcanic caldera. The name of the city means "Sulfur in the Air," as the smell of sulfur dioxide is pungent. We drove to a great overlook adjacent to the UNESCO Pitons, which are two massive volcanic plugs rising to almost 2500 feet above the sea. Along the way we stopped at a small shop which sold the world's most unique catsup, made essentially from bananas and pure cacao. We then visited Diamond Falls Botanical Garden, which hosts a cornucopia of every variety of tropical plants, including ginger, lilies, anthurium, vanilla, cocoa, and cashew. It is said that the Empress Josephine visited the gardens when she stayed at her father’s estate “Mal Maison.” We then went to Butterfly Beach for a great snorkeling adventure. Guests saw octopus, parrot fish, purple wrasse, and fan and brain coral. Tonight, photo instructor Rich Reid ran the slide show of all the photos the guests submitted – a great souvenir of our unforgettable voyage. We completed this great adventure with the fantastic Captain’s Farewell dinner.
