Tandoori Chicken with mint chutney on Lido deck was great! They actually cook the chickens whole and cut them to order. Better grade of chicken too. YUMMMMM...

In total the excursion was about 4.5 hours driving, 1.5 hours at stops. Glad I did it but I wouldn't do it a second time. This was my only Carnival excursion. The ride back seemed soooo long.

Piton Mountains and Soufreire ("sulfur" in French according to tourguide). The volcano is active with sulfur springs, fissures steaming.

Lots of roadside stands perched on the mountainsides. Many sell local rum infused with... bananas

Tourguide bought yummy bananas for all 12 of us, sweeter but smaller than back home. They produce more bananas than they can export so they make a lot of things with bananas like banana ketchup. Bananas are the #1 export.

Cute fishing village called Anse La Raye.
