24 march Pointe-à-Pitre (GUADELOUPE)

In the morning we land at Pointe-a-Pitre, the liveliest town on the island.

Here too the same disappointment as in Martinique: there are no local flags around and at the post office they almost seem offended if you ask for a stamp, perhaps for collectors, from Guadeloupe and not French!

We decide to enjoy the whole day at the beach!

We cross the colourful fruit market, then the rich spice one and finally the picturesque fish one, with the fishermen cleaning the various tropical fish just caught.

By bus we reach Le Gosier and stop at La Datcha, the local beach: an excellent choice!

We are the only tourists and we relax all day with our little ones!

They kick about at the water's edge with their tiny feet and with that transparent water that every now and then wets them, surprising them each time.

The sea is beautiful, many likeable pelicans that fly, clumsily, just above the water; every now and then they dive to catch a little fish.

We envy the locals or the French who live here and who perhaps, for an hour's break from work, come here to this earthly paradise!

The centre of Pointe-a-Pitre is a maze of chaotic little streets where only Chinese goods and chic stuff are sold!

Time to set off again... Off to St Kitts and Nevis! What an emotion!
