talking shop ON LOCATION Nature & adventure in... SAINT LUCIA Rhyme & Rhythm in the Caribbean CLAIRE ROBBINS, NORAD TRAVEL
I won this great trip by writing in rhyme So I thought I would try a second time To try and describe how wonderful it was And how we all retuned with such a buzz
We flew from Gatwick to St Kitts courtesy of BA A great flight, time to relax and games to play On landing to our hotels we were whisked away For a shower and change after a very long day
Some to the Marriott with sea view rooms, you should see them The rest to Timothy Beach, the only hotel on the shore of the Caribbean Two nights here with trips and hotel visits Then onto the ferry for one night in Nevis
Again we were split, Mount Nevis Hotel and Qualie Beach We went to Peak Heaven an outdoor museum not easy to reach Lunch was at Sunshines, Caribbean food at its best Rum punch and time to put up our feet and rest
This September the Saint Lucia
Tourist Board hosted 10 agents on an action-packed trip, exploring the beauty and diversity of attractions available on the Caribbean island. The trip took place from September
27 to October 4 and the group experienced resorts as varied as the child-friendly Smugglers Cove Resort & Spa and new boutique property Hotel Chocolat. Activities included watersports, deep-
sea fishing, whale and dolphin watching, diving, jungle bike riding, nature walks and zip-lining. The group took in island sights like the sulphur springs, Botanical Gardens and the Piton mountains. The Saint Lucia Tourist Board is
inviting agents to register their interest for fam trips to Saint Lucia in 2012 by e-mailing Chelcie Lewis at: clewis@
