2025-03-29: We had to stop at the airport on the way to Soufriere. That's because the rental car company forgot to bring their credit card machine to the initial pickup. We paid for the car, but they still did not have my St. Lucia drivers license. So, I am driving around on the crazy roads without a license... Anyway, we arrived in Soufriere without incident. The Diamond Falls was near to our apartment, so we took a trip over there for the afternoon.
