A la plage

The weather has been lovely today with clear skies and a light breeze to keep you cool. We met the kids at school and walked down to Anse Vata beach. After a quick swim we headed over the road so they could check out the local shops and buy gifts and things for themselves.

We were supposed to be wind surfing this morning but the guy was booked up all day so we have booked it for tomorrow afternoon instead. We wandered round the bay to Baie des Citrons which is a little more sheltered and based ourselves across from the swimming pontoon. The kids had a great time swimming back and forth and jumping off the pontoon. They also built some cool sand castles and just generally enjoyed relaxing with each other and taking it easy in the sun.

We had lunch and the kids had ice cream at the beach while we treated ourselves to huge waffles with banana, chocolate sauce and buckets of whipped cream.

The children were collected by their billets with strict instructions to pack everything tonight before they go to bed. It is their last night at their billet's house tonight and in the morning they will be dropped off at Le Pacifique with their suitcases and gear ready for their last 2 nights with us. Lots of them have commented how quickly the week has gone and we're sure they'll enjoy the stay in the hotel with us.

We don't have internet access in our room at Le Pacifique so the next 2 nights' updates will be brief I'm afraid as it's often difficult to access it there. Will do what we can!!

A demain...

PS As predicted Kristy is quite keen to look after the calf!!!
