Saint Lucia

The flight on Air'Canada's Rouge to Hevanorra International airport(UVF) in Saint Lucia was somewhat tiresome. We landed at a dusk hour and by the time we got in the mini van chartered by AirCanada it got pitch black, so we couldn't really see much outside of the van's window during our 1.5 hour ride to the resort.  Next day was dedicated to exploring grounds of beautiful Hideaway at Royalton Saint Lucia resort. Almost every night there was a show at the theatre Yes to breakfast on the beach! If swimming in one of the resort's infinity pools doesn't do it for you there is an olympic-size lap pool in nearby Rodney Bay LET HER INSPIRE YOU As much as I enjoyed staying at the resort, I wanted to explore lush shores of carribean side of the island.
