Next stop St. Lucia Happy Halloween

Well it's Halloween  and although the islands don't recognize this American celebration. The staff on board does and since most of the passengers are American there plans to be celebrating at the bar tonight.

Vacationing and cruises in general are suppose to be relaxing. Not so with us.  We have left the bar each night at midnight when the music stops (remember it is Viking), and been ready to do shore excursions by 8AM.  I am thinking a sea day may not be such a bad idea.

Today we were able to explore St Lucia by catamaran, unfortunately not enough wind to be under sail power all day. The middle of the trip was broken up by touring a 18 century plantation, touring the chocolate process and having lunch. Off the boat with no breeze it becomes stifling warm

Worked on my tan and enjoyed the time on the boat. We were even able to stop on the way back to St Lucia to swim in the Caribbean   It was a great day. Great views of the iconic Pitons and amazingly the island changed hands 14 times

The Halloween bash was entertaining since it was mostly the singers and dancers on the dance floor with lots of lively tunes. A few of our regulars even left early but after the staff "all in costume" made an appearance things were back to normal by 11pm. A fun time but this staying up late can wear you out.   Good news tomorrow I can sleep in we aren't due off the ship until 10:45!

I will post some photos of some of our travels
