Three’s company

If we like an off-resort adventure, cruise a revisit to En Bas Saut. This is not for a gloomy of heart, nor a impatient. It’s a two-hour expostulate from Rendezvous, adult twisty curves (bring a Dramamine), past houses nestled into cliffs and over a dirt, rock-studded road. Smith Philip, a accessible internal beam who greets we with a walking stick, will confuse we from a 1,000 feet down into a rainforest by revelation we a story of St. Lucia. Once you’re all a approach down, relax and take a drop in a rapids before streamer behind adult — since we do have to stand behind up.
