Soufrierre,  St. Lucia   

Another anchorage another boat boy!  Daniel greeted us as we entered Soufriere bay  and for $ EC 10 (£2.50) he secured us to a mooring buoy, then took a stern line to shore and tied us to a palm tree, this stops the boat from swinging around on its mooring. It was a lovely place to moor, along a small beach. 4 boats had sailed in together and Daniel was keen to sell us a trip, after agreeing a price he collected us 20 minutes later by water taxi and took us ashore. Our first stop was the Sulphur Springs, a bit smelly  with bubbling pools and huge spurts of steam.  We then went on to the Piton Falls where hot water comes straight from the volcano into 2 baths. These were like hot tubs where we spent half an hour soaking in them. On the way back we stopped off in the town to have a look  around it’s an interesting place with many old Creole buildings we also spotted ‘Excelsior Tours’ headquarters - they do get around!!!!!
