Dining Room Staff Parade

We docked at the town of Castries on the west coast. Dad and I found a taxi tour to the town of Soufriere further South along the West coast while all the kids went to a zip line through the jungle tour. The main attraction in that area are twin sharp mountain peaks on the coastline just to the South of town called the Pitons. The entire drive was very scenic as we swayed from side to side on the very winding road. We stopped on the return trip at a sulphur "volcano" similar to what you might see in Yellowstone Park. From there we stopped at Diamond Botanical Gardens Mineral Baths and Waterfalls near the town of Soufriere. We found this to be a highlight of the tour due to the beauty and variety of plants and fruits we had never before seen. That evening at dinner the entire waiter staff put on a parade and sang in the dining room. I had a lot of fun dancing with William. After that William tried to teach us all the Macarena along with the rest of the crowd. After dinner we went to the Love and Marriage Gameshow in the main theater where we laughed until we almost cried the entire show.
