Hello dear ones,
today we went to Pigeon Island, a national park in the north of the island:
Pigeon Island is a 17 hectare island rock located in the area of Gros Islet in the north of Saint Lucia. Originally a true island in the Caribbean Sea, it was artificially connected to the western coast of the main island in 1972 by filling in a land strip. The material came from the excavation of the Rodney Bay Marina. The island has two peaks. The northern peak called Signal Hill is the highest elevation at 109 meters (359 feet). The second peak is located in the southwest and is marked by Fort Rodney.[1] It is an important historical site with several fortifications, including the 18th century British Fort and Fort Rodney, both used by the English to observe French ships from neighboring Martinique. Today, it forms the northern end of Rodney Bay with the beaches Pigeon Island Beach and Reduit Beach at Rodney Bay Marina (♁Rodney Bay Marina).[2] In 1979, the island was designated a national park and in 1992 a national landmark, and has been managed by the Saint Lucia National Trust (SLNT) since. The Saint Lucia Jazz Festival is regularly held on the island.
Thanks Wikipedia!!! :-))
We had a lot of fun climbing along the island and even walked out to the caves!
As you can see, we had many great ideas while taking pictures today and completely exercised our laughing muscles!!!
In the evening, we had a delicious dinner at Joe's and then fell into bed exhausted!
In this sense.
Many greetings
Vanessa and Katharina
