Colombier Bay, with boats, and the beautiful colorful ocean!

For our last full day on the island, we have decided to go again to Colombier. We have taken the second way to go there. About the same time (30′) but much more harder… Quite a lot of boats today in the Colombier Bay.

A very long snorkeling session with my son, we have visited the right end of the Bay. It was just fantastic! A giant aquarium.

For our last dinner in St Barth, some stuff from Le Bouchon that we have taken back in the villa.

Tomorrow, we have to give back the car and the villa before 12:00. Flight to St Martin at 14:30. St Martin to Paris at 17:00. We should be in Paris at 06:00 (on Tuesday, with the time shift) and in Mulhouse for the lunch.

Long trip, bad mood. No comment, I know how far we are lucky to be there, a fact which is not really helping to come back from this “paradise”…

Corossol Beach, the place for snorkeling, near and between all these rocks.

Weather quite strange today (very warm with sudden heavy rains). Anyway, good half day at Corossol Beach.

François, our Chairman at Innoveo, has joined us in St Barth, as he was off in the Caribbic too. So, we had all 4 together a good breakfast at Maya’s to Go, and a lunch at Do Brazil. Cool ;)

The best dinner *ever* this evening in St Barth at the Eden Rock’s restaurant. Absolutely fantastic, great service, unforgettable view on the St Jean Bay “by night”. We have also seen some turtles in the ocean. Just unbelievable :)

St Barth is definitely a volcanic island!

Today was a windy day, but hot! We were at the Flamand Beach. Impressive, huge, almost nobody.

This evening, very good dinner at Do Brazil (first time in 4 years, definitely too many good restaurants here ;). Very special atmosphere because this restaurant is directly on Shell Beach (cf. 12th day)!

Back to the normal relaxing routine today. Hot and a bit windy, 25°C at 07:00 in the morning, 29°C during the day, 27°C in the ocean. Too cool :)

Also back to St Jean (east) Beach this morning.

Again, simple dinner at Le Bouchon, other places just too crowdy because of St Valentin’s Day!

This morning, it was raining cats and dogs! So, it was time to do some shopping again in Gustavia (Blanc Bleu, Carat, Vuitton, Pati de St Barth).

After lunch, the weather was again “normal” and we could intensively benefit from the swimming-pool at the villa. Good simple dinner at Andy.

I have just finished to read a bit more than 800 new pages, on top of the “first” 1’500. No book anymore now…

Shelves on the beach, or Beach of shelves ;)

First time at Shell Beach this year! This beach is actually full of … shelves. Have a look at the next post to have an idea. Funny place also for snorkeling, as there is the same quantity of shelves in the ocean as on the beach.

This evening, dinner at the Wall House Restaurant, with reservation this time ;) Simply excellent!
