The first week with Jana

Walli and Lutz were so kind to lend us their car to pick up Jana from the airport. That was really nice! Unfortunately the weather god was not as nice. As closer Jana came as worse got the weather. By the time we reached the airport it was just pouring down. Jana would not be amused about it…

just leaving St. Anne to pick up Jana, the clouds already got dark: the poor carnival decoration at a round about
but despite the rain our girl was happy to be with us
that was actually quite funny; they disguised some trees in St. Anne
we were just arrived in St. Anne making stupid faces while I was explaining an exercise I should do …
a costume competition we happened to see the final three winners
people hiding from the squall next to the market place
yeah its raining!!!
Nikki and Jana when we just bumped into them
Dave and El Capitano- best pic ever!!!
when we had a stroll around we met this cute fellow

Jana hard working at Anse de Saline

the clouds helped Jana not to get sunburned
it slowly got better with the weather
a bit blurry but the only proof of a hard working lady
after work walk at the beach and the salt lake
my sweeties watching birds
hungry kid greedily eating her favourite chips from Germany, thanks to Walli who delivered
and finally a sunset swim

Jana & Benoît, Anse Saline, Les Anses d Arlets

After Saline we headed to Grand Anse d ‘Arlet, but only a night later we got kicked out of the bay by the authorities. We were still able to get the kids ashore to start their diving lessons but then we had to move around the corner to Anse d’ Arlet. Fortunately we knew that it was not a long walk to the other beach. Only a few weeks before we anchored there and nobody seem to mind. Now they asked us to take a buoy or leave. Anchoring was no longer allowed. The rouble was there were only a few buoys left and all occupied. There used to be a lot of buoys but they have all disappeared…

looking good with my glasses
very sportive walking along the coast our favourite walk
I still have to learn how to take a good selfie
ain’t they cute?

Benito alone in Anse d ‘Arlet
a chapel on the rocks
a pretty spider caught our interest, the i-phones struggled catching it
Jana in spider picture action
so happy when she finally got the picture
pineapple art
the posing trio
leg movement seemed to be important

Anse à l’Àne

checking what?
the old remaining of a previous bridge
the bay of Anse à l’Àne
and again my cute trio
our attempt to walk to another bay north of Anse à l’Àne failked due to muddy trails and unsuitable footwear
so we just went back
the next day we took a path south
a nice view over the bay of Anse à l’Àne
I’m not sure what El Capitano was trying to do, robot walk? this small beach was called Anse Mathurin
we kept going
here we reached the bay in front of Ilet a Ramiers
here the local enlightened us about the crab trabs
and back to Anse à l’Àne
the kids had an afternoon at the beach and were just coming back
bringing fresh bread “une tradition”
good kids writing post cards on their stop at Schoelcher
