Last day

Unfortunately, as we feared, the weather has put paid to our final game as well. The boys are understandably gutted, but we just have to accept the situation. So that the day wasn't a total write off, we blew the last of the kitty on a repeat Jeep Safari. This time we visited the famous Sulphur Springs in the collapsed volcano (caldera) above Soufrieres, enjoying the (allegedly!) medicinal stink of sulphur and watching other less sane mortals bathing in the hot springs and rubbing mud all over themselves!


We followed this with a trip to a bigger waterfall than Monday where the boys wasted no time jumping in and posing for photos!

A superb lunch followed - the boys are developing quite a taste for plantain and cooked green banana!
A final game of beach cricket with the locals and then it was back to the hotel for the team and presentation evening.

Mr Fitzsimons ad Mr Wolfenden presented certificates for achievements on tour, Phil the Fine-meister made his awards and Captain Jordan made a fine speech and presented the staff with gifts from the squad. We also presented Roland Cox with some QEGS memorabilia to thank him for all his efforts on our behalf in difficult circumstances.

A few Pitons were consumed in a most companionable evening around the pool, before retiring tired but happy at the end of an excellent week in St Lucia.
