posta oradea The descent from the summit is as hard as the ascent. Steep. Tricky. Slow. Muddy. Then, you come out





Jounen Kw y l Entenasyonnal or International Cr ole Day is held late in October. On this day, Cr ole people on many Caribbean Islands celebrate their joint language and culture. Small villages on St. Lucia host a series of parties featuring island foods, crafts, music, posta oradea and cultural displays. It s a great day of partying and fun, but the traffic all over the island is horrendous. Everyone tries to hop from village to village posta oradea to visit their friends and participate in all the activities, so the roads become hopelessly gridlocked. Overlook this inconvenience and go anyway. It may be your only opportunity to taste the national dish, greenfig-and-saltfish.

The descent from the summit is as hard as the ascent. Steep. Tricky. Slow. Muddy. Then, you come out into the floor of the Valley of Desolation. Whoever named this place did a fitting job. The entire valley bubbles and spits and hisses and stinks. The only better name would be Valley of Isolation. As you look around at the barren, simmering ground, you realize how far you are from civilization and you wonder if anyone really knows for sure that the obviously agitated earth isn t going to erupt while you re standing there.

Several agencies run organized tours covering either the entire island or specific remote locations. You ll see the wildly decorated Jeeps and four- wheel-drive trucks traveling over the main roads with small groups of obviously happy tourists. Half-day tours run about EC$100/US$37 per person, while full-day posta oradea excursions range from EC$200/US$75 to EC$300/ US$112 per person and usually include lunch. Some of the most popular day-trips are hikes through the rainforest and boat rides to the famous Pitons on the less-populated southern end of the island.
