{{infobox Country|country = Saint Lucia|language = English|capital = [[Castries]]|pop = 160,765|currency = East Caribbean Dollar ( XCD )|hitch = {{bad}} (''bad'')}}Hitching in on the [[Central America]]n (Caribbean) island '''Saint Lucia''' can´t can't really be recommended. Such A hitchhiking culture doesn´t doesn't really exist there. Local minibuses run frequently and people just don´t don't understand why someone wants to hitch. This can be a problem on Sundays when local minibuses don´t don't run on every route.
===Border crossing: ===This truly is a country where you can´t can't get in without an onward ticket. However, if you´re you're coming by a ferry from [[Martinique]], they´ll they'll force you to buy an open return ticket. But if you then will fly somewhere from '''St . Lucia''', you can cash the ticket back when you show the air ticket. And as a matter of fact, you can even sell your open ferry ticket. Good to know is also that the catamaran from [[Martinique]] is not the only alternative. From the town of Marin in [[Martinique]] you´ll you'll find a little water bus coming to [[Castries]]. Not remarkable difference in the price. No ship connection to [[St. Vincent]] though the country can be seen from the southern tip of '''St . Lucia'''.
