Roundabouts - Imperialist Agression

Position: 13° 55.4' N, 60° 54.5' W

  St Lucia now has roundabouts, it didn't last time I was here. The locals blame the English. Apparently they were introduced by the British to keep them down, post colonial medaling and all that.

Went zip lining through the rain forest today. Fun! Twas the guide that came up with that thought. He also said:

  "There are no stupid questions? You've hear that phrase? Well its rubbish 'Does it rain in the rain forest, that's a stupid question'"

He's right you know. Well maybe not the bit about the roundabouts.

He gave us some tips on different Lucain rums, Chairmans reserve, Admiral Rodney (platinum award winner) and "element 8" or possibly "8 element" he couldn't remember. He said "drink element 8 and you won't know who you wake up with. You'll get there in the morning and say 'who's she', roll over and go 'and who's she?' then try and get out of bed and work out who the girl on the floor is as well." Must be very good rum......

  Add that to some euphemisms I've heard, inducing "badgers nose" when you've been to the loo in the night and poke her with the wet end and "crashing the yogurt truck" which I'll leave you to work out. All this means I've learned stuff this week.

  Did I just put that on the internet? Ooops?

  Will do some rain forest pics when I have a bit more time. Determined to go to bed before midnight, rain forest knackering. Yesterdays it took 12 hours of hair of dog to recover from the party the night before. Think I've found a boat heading for OZ thought so everything looking good.
