We had made arrangement to take a tour with Mr. John Batista, he had
come highly recommended by a friend of our.
After we docked we headed out and upward into the mountain
and as any true tour guide JB never stopped talking telling us all about St. Lucia and just how happy the whole town gets when any boat docks into their port. Their whole town depends and can only thrive on tourism.
It was starting to become difficult to listen to him because going up this beautiful mountain we experienced many twist and turns.....it got scary after a while but JB just keep on talking and I never meet anyone how could
talk so much and still keep all his attention on the road to ensure
we didn't go over the cliff....
I love JB smile, he clearly loves his job and it shows. His #1
concern was to ensure we were all having fun.
There were 12 us in the van and since we didn't know the other couples we all remained calm & well behaved but that all changed very quick.
JB is holding a banana plant in his hand, the tree only grows once
and then dies offering itself back to the earth for another tree to
grow from it. The baby banana were so small and they take 6-9 month to fully mature. I've never seen them from birth, pretty cool.
This is the man everyone needs to stay away from.....no just kidding, JB had not only our van but had four other ones touring St. Lucia and this man was in charge of all the refreshments......he would follow us around going from van to van providing libations. After 1/2 dozen visits from our Director of Libations and his secret rum punch everyone in the van was feeling no pain and most of the ladies started showing their "wild side"....it was a lot of fun and I highly recommend taking a tour with Mr. JB.
