During the summer of 2011...
|
I had my parents visiting 3 weeks. Here you can see them at home, enjoying the pool and view that I have from my balcony :) |
After a week of acclimatisation in Gwada we hired a sailboat and skipper(called José) and went traveling in the Caribbean |
Here mam and dad on our daily breakfast ritual on our boat :) |
First stop is Marie-Galante. Nice little lunch in Capesterre with our captain José. |
Posing on the beach at Capesterre/Marie-Galante (I think it's La feuillère beach) |
After Marie-Galante, heading for Dominica. Here we arrive at Porthmouth where we stayed 2 nights. |
On our arrival we're taken on a boat towards the island.. Ready to visit the Indian river ! |
On the Indian river.. rainy weather.. bit disappointed by the tour..But it's apparently a spot where they filmed scenes of "Pirates of the Caribbean" |
Next day we took a Jazzy minibus to get us around the island of Dominica!! Nice driver and a great tour. |
Nice view somewhere north.. |
Funny panel .. no shop.. or not anymore :) |
Little stop for some Kasava bread - with coco and without - mjaamiee! |
While tasting the breads.. This kind lady gives us also some roasted breadfruit to let mam and dad discover. |
One of the next stops was near Emerald Pool, were we had a little walk in nature around it: beautiful river in tropical forest |
Porthmouth town |
Full rainbow over Porthmouth & it's wrecks (left there since a storm a few years ago) |
On the road again to our next Island, mam doing some yoga |
Dad conquering big waves on our way to Martinique! |
Leaving Dominica unexpectedly late made us arrive in St.Pierre, Martinique, at night |
Dad waiting in front of beautiful old colonial house while mam and I do some shopping |
Saint Pierre city of ruins |
Next stop: Anse d'Arlet |
Real pretty little bay where we stayed a few nights |
Of we go to have a little sunset apéro (you can spot José-mama-papa) |
Enjoying our drink obviously :) (on left mama, José and right dad, moi) |
One of the days in Martinique we rented a car to travel around a bit. Quick visit of Fort de France, capital of Martinique to start our day tour. Beautiful bibliothèque Schoelsher on the picture |
Leaving Martinique.. heading South... sailing by the Diamond Rock |
Diamond Rock |
Waking up after afwul windy and rainy night. Dad being courageous and having a little swim..brr |
Got stuck in Saint Lucia cuz of weather so spend a lot of time at a little café.. But managed to have little walk during little sun.. despite stormy weather |
and even have a little swim in Saint Lucia's Rodney Bay |
Due to storm leaving Saint Lucia early... bit sad we couldn't really visit the island.. Even dinky isn't happy ;) |
Present on our way back... DOLPHINS!!!! |
Martinique ahead! (little bump on right side is Diamond rock) |
The captain's crew |
Back in Martinique, anchored in St.Anne's bay. Last night on boat with the long discussed bananas flambées!! ;) |
