Le Jardin Malanga Basse-terre

... Marie Galante Her name is taken from Christopher Columbus' caravel and she is the largest of the islands depending on Guadeloupe and is approximately 1-2 hours from Saint Francois or Pointe a Pitre. The island is very chilled out and was a haven for writers and painters for inspiration. It was originally the home of the rum distilling which is easy to see based on the amount of natural vegetation there and they still carry the sugarcane by cart ...

Et voilà... I'm starting to get used to the idea of being on a site and reading the guidebook, it seems to be a much better choice! I'm waking up quite early in the morning... apparently there is a cock somewhere singing like a cock. Anyway, moving the curtains and seeing the sea no more distant than 30 meters is of great impact on me! The day is spent trying to get up some strength... I've left for this trip quite out of ...

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 ...

... drinking and dancing - it was all I could've asked for. I also got to say goodbye to the most important people and just before leaving, Kat threw a fit about Fede & Virginie thinking she's a horrible nanny who's on drugs. Even told me not to leave. Sure thing, my last night - going home with My Guy / holding Kats hand while she's drunk and upset - tough choice. So in the end I didn't even say goodbye to K, I was too scared the'd tell me to stay. Then me ...

Thursday, me and Kath took off to Yacht. My Guy called and we made plans to meet up there. The place was not at all happening despite the fact that Ti had just opened. It was OK though, Kat was in a good mood and I hung out some with Vanja. Oh yeah, and Tim was there. Sort of hung out with us I guess. Conversation was not the smoothest ever though, I get the feeling he is not that interesting and I was actually really glad when My Guy walked in to ...

... than drinking, dancing and getting into trouble I do not consider her a friend. Anyway, back to today. So I stopped by her house and listened to her talk about her 'adventures' for 20 minutes. Then went to work and who walks into the reception today if it isn't Tim (not Kim ; ). I think we both didn't really expect to see each other but we ended up chatting for a while, laughing a bit and then he gave me his number. Big chance I'm gonna ...

... prevent that from happening but there you go. Then work. Superslow as usual but now I'm also actually becoming annoyed with it. I don't want to do it. I'm leaving and I don't see a point in answering phones when I could be doing so much more fun stuff with my time. Max called and we made plans to meet up with him at Ti Zouk again, went to pick up Kat from Matthieus and we started our climb to L'Oeuf where we got a lift - from Max. Not the most recent Max, old Max from ...

... reason I feel like serbia and sweden are more alike than with france and all the french. Friday. 2,5 hours of sleep. I didn't want to miss lunch, I knew how freakin hungry I'd get. And then I wanted to benefit from my day off to get some soleil, so I went to St Jean. Dom was there but didn't come up to say hi, weird, he totally freaked out thursday before leaving and didn't even say goodbye. Strange. Then walked around St Jean a bit and got a lift home with Alan and ...

... t offer accommodation, food, salary - nothing. So yay, back to CSN. F-ck. I got another offer from FO at Novotel, Madrid. Don't know when don't know what they'd offer. I need to look into that. Madrid though.. been there, done that. Do I wanna do it again? I'm not feeling Madrid, but if they offer benefits and stuff... Dublin though.. never been there so that might be cool, but doesn't it rain all the freakin time? Then Alex is going to check FO at Ritz, Paris ...

... he tried to rape her. Cyril says that Kathy lies a lot. - Dom tries to kiss me - Cedric says the Manapany sucks and everyone talks a lot of ******** but then again everyone says that Cedric is an irresponsible drug addict. Kathy says that Matthieu wants her and I tell Matthieu to be careful. - Cedric kisses me - Matthieu says that he wants Kathy and Jimmy says not to take anyone seriously. Phillipe Roy calls ...
