Weekend in St. Lucia
On the weekend 15-17th of June I went with two nice German girls to St. Lucia. The trip had been full of new experiences and we really had a very good time. It was quite fun to go there by Combi, which is a local Mini Bus. It had been easy to travel up to the South African border, but than we had a problem, because the public transport in South Africa is not as easy as in Swaziland. So we had to hitch hike … But finally we managed everything and arrived in St. Lucia at 2pm. As we liked to do a lot of things in St. Lucia, we went directly to the Tourist Office to book some trips.
On Saturday morning we went on a whale watching tour. It had been amazing. We have seen 3 Southern Hampback Whales. After a while they integrated us (the boat) into their pot and swam the same speed as the boat was going. Than they started to jump … it was so great. The skipper even extended our time.
After this tour we did a horse ride at the beach and thru the fields. I haven’t been on a horse for ages, so it was a strange feeling at the beginning. And my horse “Chack” didn’t really liked to ride. So I have been always behind the other ones.
As we booked these 2 Tours, we got the Crocodile and Hippo Tour for free. I had to hurry to go after the horse riding to this tour, which had been in the Estray. Words can not really describe this. It had been so incredible good. The skipper was also really good, he explained us a lot of things. And I met a nice elder couple from Chicago. They have been so cute.
Finally I went on a Safari Tour the next day. The tour started at 5 in the morning. I waited till quarter to six in the cold windy weather, till they picked me up. The other couple on this tour forget to switch on the alarm clock, so they have been late. The tour had been very good as well, but we have been freezing. I had 3 blankets, but it was extremely windy and so very cold in this open car. We have seen warthogs, Giraffes, … and the most impressive thing had been a hyena which a fresh piece of flesh in her mouth.
But at the end of the day I felt so sick. I started to have fiever, so I just went to bed and slept. The way back was longer than the way to St. Lucia. We arrived in Swaziland at 6 pm, and I still had fiever. A very bad flu.
