Vieux Port de Saint François
A great surf beach as it caters for all levels, with three breaks
and a really nice right-hander. It's ideal for beginners and
long-boarders as it never gets to big or vertical. Generally great
waves, especially ...

... Châteaux, Le Moule, Pointe de la Grande Vigie and Port-Louis (excellent diving spot). Pointe des Chateaux (Castles Point) Situated at the most eastern part of the island its spectacular views draw many visitors, enabling you to see neighbouring islands; La Desirade, Iles des les Petite-Terre, Marie Gallante, Iles des les Saintes and sometimes more! Despite the name, there aren't any castles, its actually a reference to the majestically carved rocks ...

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 ...

... Guy went back to Kat's place and actually stayed there until 5ish when he had to leave for work. Not a very tough goodbye to be honest, I'm not too sure what to do with him in the future, don't see any hardcore staying in touch happening but we'll see. You never know. Then basically back to room, Delphine off to work, last minute packing, amazing shower, Matthieu deciding that yes he can drive me to airport (little *******!) and here I am. Leaving paradise island.

... done in Gustavia, and did actually wake up early but My Guy was no that excited about leaving and stressing so in the end we didn't get going until noonish. Walked out in my old makeup, ****** hair and broken dress actually, and drove back to the Manap freaking out about not wearing a helmet (1250 Euro fine!!!!) (or death). Anyways changed real quick while My Guy "found" a helmet, passed by airport and then got invited to lunch at Caviar Island ...

... to see him before I leave. Who knows we might even watch some TV. ; ) Right now just waiting for work to be over with. Last night shift ever! Woho! Kat just came by and there's this special show at the yacht and Philippe is saving us a table. I think it might be fun + I didn't see Vanja yesterday and I miss him. He's the only real person I met here, I need someone to remind me that all of this is just ******** and drama. We have air ..... : D

... with Matthieu. Now the whole situation was giving me a headache and I wanted to get out of it so bad so when Philippe bumped me into this other guy on the dancefloor it was like a sign. I just completely left the drama behind and started chatting up this random guy. And what do you know he was actually supernice, funny and intelligent, I couldn't have asked for more. So me and guy go outside to be able to talk and of course, within five minutes Kat comes running and is trying ...

... 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 ...

... here, nice girl : ) She ended up taking me to dinner where I met more of the staff. The room is ... OK. Enough said. The food is ..... OK. Enough said. The dining area is... barely barely OK. Enough said. Later that night Delphine came back from work and took me to Mathieus place where I met Jimmy and we all just chilled, french style. : ) Saturday: Got up and walked myself to the Epicerie, managing of course to get lost along the way ...
