Spectacular scenery driving to Soufriere from Rodney Bay

We had read that the most spectacular scenery would be seen driving to Soufriere, so this is where we headed. The road was good for the most part, although there was enough potholes that it made for very tiring driving. The Pitons are spectacular, although we’d been spoiled by seeing Moorea (Tahiti) the year before.   There was lots of places to pull over (lookouts and scenic views).   We passed on some of the more popular sights like the drive-in volcano and the gardens – nothing we read about them impressed us and we didn’t have that much time with the rental car.  We passed Rodney Bay, Canaries, and other fishing villages on our way south.

Driving through some of the towns got a little difficult – there wasn’t always a clear route through the town, and at one point we ended up doing a 28 point turn on a narrow street that had dead ended.  The local drunk was more than happy to help us out, however.
