Imagine, I am 2200 kms south of equator! The sun is strong since the morning, hat is obligatory and after few hours walk I feel the sunburn also on my neck! After the buffet breakfast in our pension (it is included) we took a walk down to the beach of Flic en Flac. It is quiete a walk! Expect to walk 20 min down and 25 uphill! The pension offers the free shuttle ride every 3 hours or so, but will you wait? Down there is a kind of the micro downtown with some shops, exchange both (they pay 44.10 rupees for the dollar and 48 for euro) and fruit and vege stalls (80 rupees for kilo of bananas). Le baguette costs just 10 rupees and a bottle 0.7 of local rum – 300 – like 6 euro. A lot of mango trees and flowers in the gardens. Finally through the line of trees you will see turquoise and blue ocean, the reef and long, white beach. We took a long walk along the beach, going south and enjoying the view of the green mountains, including table-like Morne Brabant. There are many fallen trees on the beach after cyclone, they are cleaning them. Lovely day! I negociate the car excursion (South West of the island) for tomorrow.
