I resisted peer pressure and stayed south

I decided to go to Saint Lucia on a whim -- the day before I left. I did a tiny bit of research before my flight left and knew that the airport into which I was flying was Hewanorra International AIrport, the airport in Vieux Fort in the south part of the island. There is another airport, Vigie Airport, in Castries in the north touristy part of the island. With that in mind, and the fact that I was only staying two days, I decided to stay in Vieux Fort.

When I landed at Hewanorra, I talked to a taxi driver (they are in abundance) who kept telling me the north part of the island was the place to go. When I said no, I wanted to stay here, he looked at me like I was crazy -- after all, Vieux Fort didn't offer much for a visitor in his opinion. How wrong he was.
