Last pictures of this series, taken from the plane when leaving Saint Barth.
As usual, I needed some time to recover (still not completely actually) ;-)

So, last breakfast and beach in paradise :-(
Last lunch at the Airport in some hours.

It’s time to travel back home (Winair at 14:45 today). I mean the “other” home…

Our 10th time in St Barth was quite exceptional, such a cool and serene time again. Having time with wife and son, time to play with Julien, to read (12 books, not bad this year), to photograph, to post here, to have nice dinners, to drive around the island, to have some naps after the cigars and rum. Pfffuuu :-)

I’m sure that we will keep the hike with Hélène Bernier as highlight in our mind. And I’m also sure that I will miss the fantastic Caribbean colors and Saint Barth views…

The return is always quite difficult, but hey, we were again lucky enough to be able to come to Saint Barth!

To close this series, I think that some sunsets could be quite adequate. So, 3 of them to share!

Sunset at Public

Sunset at Grand Fond

Sunset at the lighthouse

We had some rain showers almost all the nights during our stay.
Then, very sunny and breezy days, excepted yesterday.
Three times wet in one day ;-)
And rain showers and sun at the same time in the afternoon!

Last night in Saint Barth, we are flying back tomorrow afternoon!

Again very strong waves … this time at Saline!
Very windy day actually, with funny waves.
Again a lot of fun with my son and with my wife, playing in this waves!

Little stroll around Petit Cul de Sac in direction of Petites Anses.
Rocky path!
First, colorful views on the bay, and then, wild landscape!

Morning visit to Shell beach.
Has changed again, positively, in the last 6 months or so…
Nice place, excepted for your feet ;-)

Yesterday we had a colorful stroll around the Grand Cul de Sac bay.
It was the first time we were walking in the direction of Petit Cul de Sac from there.
Really beautiful colors and views, very "wild".

It was also the first time we saw the ocean waves crashing directly in the rocks.
Quite impressive.

Yesterday was a terrific morning at Gouverneur with very funny waves.
We were almost alone more than an hour.
A good time with my son :-)

Yesterday morning was definitely a “highlight” on the island!

We were with Hélène Bernier from Easy Time for a hike to the Morne de Grand Fond.

Quite physical, but so crazy views on Saint Barth!! And Hélène is really such a nice person. Always something interesting to show or to explain concerning the animals and the plants.

The 360° view on the top of the Morne de Grand Fond is breath-taking, absolutely fantastic.
