St Barth 2008 – 16th day (part I), originally uploaded by didierbeck.

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!

Again, at Corossol Beach today. Extremely warm, about no wind. We have also visited l’Anse des Cayes and l’Anse des Lézards. Both are really wild!

Two long snorkeling sessions with my son. Lot of stuff to look at there :)

This evening, we wanted to have dinner at the Wall House Restaurant in Gustavia. As usual, without reservation, just forget it ;) So we were finally at Le Bouchon. Excellent for the price!

Before dinner, some shopping at Mia Sia, Carat and Le Piment Vert. Very good (but cool) service everywhere.

This morning, it was raining like hell … during about 30′. Then, beautiful (and hot!) weather. We were at St Jean Beach (east), as I cannot walk quite well because of my foot sprain…

Also just finished my 3rd book in 10 days. Not bad, more than 1’500 pages during the last days, plus some magazines ;) This means : less emails = more readings!
