From Richmond hill we can see the impact of the eruptions before visiting the buried city of Plymouth itself. We also see some of the untouched areas which are as beautiful as ever. Day 8 Cabrits, Dominica. Stepping back in time, the island of Dominica is still the primitive garden that Columbus first sighted in 1493. An area of tropical rainforests it has flowers of incredible beauty and animals that exist nowhere else in the world. We arrive this morning in the small port of Cabrits, just below the national park and the former British garrison of Fort Shirley, which successfully repelled a French attack during the Trafalgar campaign in 1805. Those feeling active can climb to the fort to explore the ruins, visit the small museum and maybe wander the surrounding trails on the lookout for birds, hermit crabs and lizards. Alternatively for the keen birders we will offer a tour to the Syndicate National Park which is the last remaining habitat for the endemic Sisserou and Jaco parrots of Dominica and where we will enjoy a trek exploring the exotic flora and fauna. The afternoon is at leisure to explore independently and perhaps enjoy some time on one of the beaches.Day 9 Soufriere, St Lucia. St Lucia is a splendidly rugged island of towering mountains, lush green valleys and acres of banana plantations. Due to its strategic position, the island was fought over repeatedly by the French and British and changed hands fourteen times. We will anchor in sight of St Lucia%u2019s best-known feature, the twin peaks of the Pitons, which rise dramatically from the sea to more than 2400 feet. In the nearby town of Soufriere we can visit the bubbling sulphur springs, part of a low lying volcano which erupted thousands of years ago. Our tour will also include the splendid botanical gardens. Day 10 Carriacou, Grenadines. We return to the Grenadines and the island of Carriacou which is just 13 square miles in size and is characterised by crystal clear waters and enchanting beaches. From our anchorage in Tyrell Bay we will land for an island drive including the viewpoints over the surrounding Grenadine islands and Tobago Cays, as well as a visit to Windward where we find the boat builders who use traditional techniques dating back to the early Scottish settlers. Later we will have a final opportunity to relax on one of the beaches or take a swim before we sail this evening back to Barbados. Day 11 Barbados to London. Disembark this morning and take a scenic drive along the West Coast with its beautiful beaches, elegant hotels and quaint boutiques to the north of the island where we take in the incredible views of the Atlantic surf, blowholes, caves and shallow pools. Later we will see St John%u2019s Church which stands on a cliff face, 800 feet above sea level, with spectacular views of the east and south-eastern coasts and the Sunbury Plantation which was built in 1660 and today provides an insight into life in bygone years. After lunch we transfer to the airport for our scheduled flight to London.Day 12 London.
