Beauté et le charme abondent dans les Saintes, Guadeloupe ...

15 km south of Guadeloupe, the small archipelago of the Saintes,
composed of 9 islands was discovered by Christopher Columbus on
4 November 1493. Terre de Haut is the principal center of
Les Saintes. We moored here for a few nights and
I couldn't get enough of this beautiful and charming fishing village. |

 |
| Brightly painted homes ... |
 |
| Chris makes friends with one of the locals ... |
 |
| Serenity ... isn't this what the journey is about? |

| Street scene, quiet and picturesque |
 |
| After getting a tip from fellow cruisers, we walked across the island |
 |
| to the “Plage de Pompierre” beach ... where we discover |
 |
| even more natural beauty. |
 |
| While a walk in town is rich with colorful shops and the aroma of baking bread, |
 |
deciphering French restaurant menu's can be tricky - this one says:
breakfast, fresh fruit juice, milk shake, drinks. |
 |
| The island of Guadeloupe in the distance, touches the clouds |
 |
| Some views are simply stunning - Terre de Haut, Les Saintes |
 |
| Carib on ice is nice. |
Troubadour visited Terre de Haut, Les Saintes islands part of Guadeloupe, May 2 - May 5, 2012. (And we really want to come back next year!)
