For our first day in St Lucia, we did everything that you need to do in St. Lucia's capital city, Castries. We learned about St. Lucia's history, visited the main landmarks, ate local produce and typical St. Lucian food and finished with some souvenir shopping at the Castries Central Market.

  • @welsha7484
    Good vibes Ricardo. You know your stuff. Thanks for showing off our beautiful island man.
  • Just like Guyana. The Tour Guide is indeed great and knows about his history. Like to have him as a tour guide when I visit.
  • @briklayr1
    Omg! When you popped into the market restaurant, it reminded me of an amazing memory my wife and I had having the bouillon soup in that exact location. It was so surreal meandering through the market and finding the treasure of that meal. A far cry from the exorbitant, underwhelming meal we sampled at a fancy restaurant the night prior.
  • I live in England and from St Lucia your accent sound like south London … thanks for showing off Castries
  • @elijahtk3893
    The coconut seller broke it the typical African way, Jah bless mi bredren! Love from Ghana.
  • I hope to visit St.Lucia some day...I'm from Barbados and I had a neighbour who was St.Lucian and she was like a second mother to me.
