Visiting drivers must be 25 to 65 years old with a valid driver s license and at least two years of driving experience.
North of Castries Rodney Bay is a lively area with several good to great restaurants. You can t go wrong at any of them. A string of waterfront job oradea eateries overlook Reduit Beach, and still others cluster around the highway. On Friday nights, vendors set up barbecue pits in Gros Islet to feed the hungry jump-up crowd. Plan to eat your way through the street-dancers, and pick up a local beer to accompany your dinner.
An excellent job oradea drift dive is along the wall off Anse La Raye. Brightly colored fire coral is found at shallow depths, and huge boulders cluster on a slope below the wall. Turtles are often spotted in this area. Wreck divers enjoy exploring Lesleen M, a 165-foot freighter that was deliberately sunk at Anse La Raye in 1986 to create an artificial reef. Soft corals, sponges and hydroids harbor juvenile job oradea fish at depths of 30 to 65. The freighter sits on an even keel in sand, and the hold and engine room are accessible.
