Firestarter

St James's Club Morgan Bay, St Lucia

 

Every Wednesday is beach party night. The staff start to clear the entire beach of sun beds, tables, sun parasols and countless empty glasses from 4pm and by 6:30pm it is transformed with food stalls, tables and chairs, a stage and dance area and not forgetting the bonfire on the beach. It is such a lively event, virtually every guest forsakes the other five restaurants for the beach party.

 

Now, not being fans of Benidorm or the TV series, we would normally run a mile from such hotel/complex entertainment, but we made an exception here. It started with African and Caribbean martial arts - similar to Capoeira (Brazilian martial art), followed by stilt walkers and dancers that would give Beyoncé a run for her money. It culminated with the best display of fire eating I've ever seen and then the limbo dancers - flaming bar optional. I would have had a go but I had to take the pictures. Lionel Richie could have partied all night long here! Don't remember much about the following morning though!

 

There's only a couple of songs to go with this and so I've gone for the bleedin obvious! Apologies in advance for my lack of culture.
