Climbed to the top of Pigeon Island ~ St. Lucia!

Pigeon Island is a 40-acre islet located in Gros Islet 

in the northern region of Saint Lucia. 

Once isolated from the country in the Caribbean Sea, 

the island was artificially joined to the western coast of mainland in 1972 

by a man-made causeway built from dirt excavated to form

the Rodney Bay Marina. Composed of two peaks the island is a 

historic site with numerous forts such as an 18th-century British fort and 

Fort Rodney both used by the British to spy on French Ships 

from neighboring Martinique. 

In 1979 it was named a national park and again in 1992

 it became a national landmark under the control of the Saint Lucia National Trust. 

Today, Pigeon Island is the home and 

major venue of the Saint Lucia Jazz Festival.

Top Peak!

We needed a banana daiquiri and a good swim after that! :)

This was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

It was a good hike but I would do it all over again in a heart beat! :)

A piece of me will always be in St. Lucia, the original honeymoon destination!
