... alone; never wear extravagant jewelry; never leave car windows down when stopping. Sometimes we get the warnings directly from the locals who are concerned about our safety and the reputation of Trinidad: don't count show your money when you are counting it to pay for something; don't take your credit card to Carnival and don't take more money than you can afford to lose; and one of our favorites from a local in a Mall store -- "don't accept no drugs from strangers".

... one of the large supermarkets on the island. Shaz loves the French ones because the selection is huge and the fresh food is great, much better than the dodgy food available in supermarkets on the British Islands. After leaving Forte de France we headed North to a small historic village called St. Pierre. At first glance this village looked a little run down and not terribly inviting. The coastline at this end of the island is much different from the light sandy ...

... had no roll and enjoyed our brief stay. The second day we puddle hopped once more and anchored in St. Pierre, once the economic capital of Martinique. St. Pierre has the distinction of being the home of Mt. Pelee, which last erupted in 1902, and within three minutes, killed 30,000 people. The one person in St. Pierre to have survived was a fellow who was in the prison. The rock walls of his cell kept him alive until he was ...

16/04/08, Wednesday, 18:00, St. Pierre, Martinique Had a nice sail up here today - the wind and current were with us. Mountains here are great. Virgin Mary statue overlooking the town. Watched a pod of dolphins play in clear water on our bow. They were so close, I could hear them breathe when they surfaced.

... the carribean sea. The capital town of this Island is Fort-de-France. This Island has knew a terrific blast of the "Montagne Pelé" volcano the 8th may 1902. and there was 2 survivors of this tragedy whereof a prisoner. The specialities of this Island are bananas planting and the rhum.

... I have never questioned myself that I was really in Martinique until then. I felt like I was back on the beach in Norway or even at home at West Beach, staring up at the rocks waiting for the sun to set. I'm still caught off guard when I walk into a store to buy a drink when asked a simple question; Immediately I am known as the "American" tourist that actually knows how to speak French. Although I am still learning new words ...

Bonjour de Martinique!! So I haven't had any time to write a blog and I only have a computer twice a week. Time sure does fly. Martinique...man..what a place. It is beautiful, the beaches are amazing, I haven't been sunburned (yet) and I have lots of new freckles! I love my host family but the communication in French is a challenge but it gets easier every single day. So far I have been to the center, north and east of ...

... and beautiful island. After a lunch at Paradise Café in Portsmouth where Martin introduced me to Provisions, a side dish of root vegetables (dasheen, yams, sweet potatoes) and green plantain, we went to Martin's boat Providence for a tour of the Indian River. This river may only be toured with a guide and no motors may be used. Martin rowed and poled us up the river explaining all of the flora and fauna we were seeing and pointing our fish and crabs all along the way. Birds sang to ...

... Later, two evenings later. I attended a native music festival. I was the only caucasian that attended. I was visible for miles around. A fancy mix of reggea and modern rythms. After a feasty night, I drove south to St. Anne and rented a cottage for the remains of my stay at Martinique. Suddenly I had to go to FdF and my flight back to europe. A nice vacation, after all.
