Antigua… not just beaches
We all know really well that Antigua got so many beautiful white sand beaches! I never counted, but they say should be 365 – a beach per day and you got busy all year round… On one of the trips, after visiting one of beaches my attention was taken by blooming plants. I then got to my camera, and here are some of the flowers I found… Frangipani. Frangipani flowers are highly scented during nights and are used in bouquets used in wedding ceremonies. The flowers symbolize the love and devotion between two people. I also found that The Buddhism saw the Frangipani flower as a symbol of new life and renewal! Below is the one we know as Azalea, also called Desert Rose.

Flowers of Saint Lucia
…I traveled to St. Lucia many times, but never really got into studying the plants and flowers… On the last trip I stayed in Fox Grove Inn located in the beautiful mountain area with nice garden and many blooms in it. I went to explore and took a lot of pictures. I collected some images of flowers that can be encountered throughout the island of St. Lucia. Found in resorts, along roads and in botanical gardens, these are the flowers that make St. Lucia of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. The Ixora, also called West Indian Jasmine is a common flowering plant with small, bushy shrubs that feature large clusters of a variety of colours amongst evergreen leaves.

St. Lucia: Anse Chastanet Beach
Anse Chastanet is an amazing beach – to get there you can either drive or take a boat-taxi from Soufriere. In Soufriere we got some local food from “Skippers” and drove to the beach to enjoy a calming picnic. I really liked the cassava root… and the leftovers we saved for the fish. The water was so clear that I could see the bottom! Even before we jumped into the water I could already see the crabs, the corals and the fish swimming around. It was so beautiful! My dad took his underwater camera to take pictures, I took the cassava and started to feed the fish – you would never imagine that so many fish actually lived in this

Kayak on the Bay
St. Lucia is one of the islands where you can find all kinds of activities to satisfy even very demanding souls… Here is one relatively new idea – kayaking to the Praslin Island offered by local kayaking pro organised under the name “Kayaking on the Bay”. As part of the trip you learn some of the local history and tradition… The tranquil Village of Praslin is nestled between the two districts of Dennery and Micoud on the East Coast of St Lucia.

Here, you find examples of the traditional and highly distinctive Saint
