My friend had recommended jungle biking to us. The best part about this outing was that it took place at a more secluded beach, Anse Mamin. The online reviews for this beach were spectacular so we killed two birds with one stone by doing this activity. Anse Mamin is less populated than Sugar Beach and the natural, dark sand was a completely different gorgeous sight. The sand is that color due to the volcano on the island. Any white sand on the island was imported. We biked through old ruins, reserviors, waterfalls, all of which displayed their own beauty. After the guided tour, we were able to explore the rainforest ourselves. Kevin and I were the last to return the bikes....surprise, surprise! We had so much fun! The switchback trails reminded us of our mountain biking days. It even began raining on us (guess it does that in the rainforest!) but that didn't stop us. Once our legs had a good burn from peddling so long (and often uphill) we joined our friends Drewy and Russell for Jungle Burgers on the beach. Without a doubt, these were the best burgers around! You never would have known they came from a beach hut with a huge grill under it. It is a hidden treasure anyone traveling to St. Lucia should know about. We took a dip in the ocean before curling up under the straw umbrellas to rest. It continued to rain off and on this day but it never phased us. We were perfectly content napping on the lounge chairs and stayed dry with straw canopy above us. Late in the afternoon we headed back to Ladera for our last night of dining at Dasheene.
