L'Oasis Guadeloupe

It's a cool wet morning, just like home. I get the bike out of the ballroom and head off fully suited into the mountains. I manage to get onto the free roads again, I must be getting the hang of it.<br> Once again there are whisps of white clouds drifting above and below, and really high black ones dropping on me! This is probably the best road so far (Mex 190) to Santa Domingo Tehauntepec, really good surface well generally ...

... unexplored. Moving on towards Pelenque, another 8 hours on the bus, so arrived tired and a bit ratty, but came through it with a few beers with our new friends from around the World, always the best part of the journey. Pelenque was in the jungle, hot and humid. Everything felt damp, including our washing which just got wetter, as did out clean clothes. Again the ruins were vast and different enough to make them just as interesting with comb ...

... to warn drivers. Locals will paint a Tope sign on almost anything to give you a heads up. I think the folks living nearby get tired of the screeching tires, and the loud bang and the sound of metal skittering down the highway after being dislodged from the shoddy maintained vehicles. If you were to live near a Topa and wanted to sleep you would sign it someway. They become the staging area for many different ...

On to Puerto Arista, a relative metropolis, plenty of shops, some of them even open! Out of high season seaside towns tend to only fully open at weekends when the city dwelling Mexican hordes descend. Found a nice little place near a smelly lagoon and not far from the beach, but sadly, as often happens in Mexico, the workers started banging around at 6am - because it´s really hot later, they start work early but with no concern for their sleeping clients.

... casino and a range of other activities including a superb golf course. One of the great things about Saint Francois is its easy access to other islands as you can take a boat to many destinations such as; La Desirade, Petite-Terre and Marie-Glante. If you're looking for a great holiday villa in Saint Francois, Guadeloupe we recommend Villa Belle Allee which is a short distance from the town centre. Porte d'enfer: the gates of hell Despite the name ...

Here we are! after 2 days spent in Paris, at noon I'm on an AirFrance aircraft flying to Pointe à Pitre, Guadeloupe, thinking about what a wonderful 'croisière' I was going to start... I would have never thought that in the end I would do something completely different, but surprisingly wonderful! Once off the plane, there I found Silviane, kindly enough to tell me that my croisière was not starting ...

... s beach house at.. no idea where at actually. Anse Gascon?? I'll probably never know. These amazingly drugged out girls looking like 15 walked around naked and just to point out the excessive waste of money some ridiculously expensive bottles of champagne where sprayed out over the terrasse. Oh, and we got a ride there with Philippe (in his superawesome car, loving it!) but thank God Portguese Boy was there to drive us back home. Those people were just to fortunate for their ...

... dus! Misschien gaan we ook nog naar Saba en vervolgens willen we naar de Britse Maagdeneilanden. Daarna wordt het tijd om langzaam weer af te zakken. Verder vooruitkijkend hebben we voorlopig maar besloten dat wij dit jaar niet naar Holland zullen varen. We verheugen ons op Venezuela, waar we in het orkaanseizoen (vanaf juli) naar toe willen gaan. Het is een interessant land, waar zeker nog veel avonturen te beleven zijn. Ook willen we in het volgende seizoen graag Cuba gaan ...
