Saint Lucia Health

Health

Health This island is as series of hills and mountains. The driving is the most hair-raising series of winding hair pin turns you will ever see. Think of driving up and down Lansdown Street in San Francisco for an hour or so. Needless to say if you are at all prone to motion sickness, bring the Dramamine. If you fly into the big airport and stay in Castries, as most tourists do, take your pills the minute that you clear customs. It is probably the biggest health risk that you face in St. Lucia. Safety There have been some recent particularly brutal attacks on foreign hotel guests coupled with accusations of ineffective police. Caution must be exercised. Take a great deal of care when driving. Castries Central Market is a good place to watch your wallet.
