Saint Barth 2012 – Day 2

Yesterday, first morning beach at Saline. This made totally the difference for me and brought me completely in the Saint Barth vibes. The beach is again fantastic, no seaweeds anymore.

Ahhhh these Caribbean colors. You think you remember, but you have to be there to be "shocked" again ;-)

Slowing down, slowing down :-)

Saint Barth 2012 – Day 0

What a wonderful feeling!! In a bit more than one day (i.e. on Wednesday evening) we will be in Saint Barth :-) After 6 months, being able to go there again is just a fantastic dream for the three of us. We are just … happy!

This stay is quite a special one, as we have some particular figures to celebrate: 2x 10, 1x 15, 2x 40. Our son’s 10th Birthday, our 15th Wedding Anniversary, our 40th Birthdays (my wife and myself), and finally…. the 10th time we are on the Island ;-)

The 10th time we are going back to Saint Barth, wow. We would have laughed at you some years ago if you would have told us: “you will return 10 times on the same 25km2 island”!

But perhaps by being a bit more precise, saying that there are so many great restaurants, a so nice weather during this winter time. Explaining that you can find 14 completely different beaches, so many crazy and colorful views and villas. Stressing the fact that you will meet nice and lovely people, that you can shop, drink superb rums, smoke crazy cigars at night on the villa terrace with millions of stars in the sky, read a lot of books. And finally, just having some time for you and for your beloveds…. Wow, it sounds immediately different, no? ;-)

As usual, I’m also very excited to have time to photograph this nice place and to share some of our good “human moments” with you.

Countdown started for Saint Barth 2012 ;-)

So, in exactly 2 months (yyyeeeesss), we will be in Saint Barth for our 10th stay there (celebrate!), our 15 years of marriage anniversary (celebrate!), and my 40 years (celebrate!).

Wow, the restaurants selection will be tough!

Villa for the first time “on the beach” (one of the few possibility on the island) ;-)

"Perfect Pairs" photo contest

Just to inform you (hope I’m not bothering…) that I’m participating to a photo contest organized by SmugMug and BayPhotoLab with an unusual topic: "Perfect Pairs" (they are celebrating their partnership).

Saint Barth Summer 2011 – Day 14

Wednesday

So, yesterday (Wednesday) was our last full day in Saint Barth, whole morning at Saline, again. Very breezy, quite a lot of seaweeds on the beach, less in the water ;-) Crazy how this evolved within 2 days!

 

Thursday

Today, we are flying back to France, holidays are over! Almost 24 hours of travel, brrr… We were again at Le Gaiac yesterday evening, just great moment and the right place to "close" our stay in Saint Barth.

Saint Barth Summer 2011 – Day 13

Wow, writing this post from the terrace, protected from the heavy rain showers, eating a banana ice cream from "Le Petit Deauville". So, no beach today, as we went for shopping this morning (very breezy), and had a good lunch at Le Repaire.

Open air cinema

So, back to one event on Sunday evening: we were for the first time at the Open air cinema (AJOE in Lorient), which was a great experience (movie was X-Men the Origins, in French ;-). First you have to take a chair and to choose the place where you want to put your chair, very funny (see below). The sky was enough clear – almost full moon – to see a lot of stars. I was quite disturb by this nice spectacle in the sky beside the movie itself!!

Villa nightly shots

I have also done some pictures by night from the villa in the last days. As a reminder, I took these pictures at 11pm, i.e. it was fully dark ;-)

Saint Barth Summer 2011 – Day 12

Very sunny and hot morning today, this afternoon, heavy rains, so a very long nap for the whole family!

Now sitting on the terrace with a Romeo y Julieta & a Rhum Vanille, a lot of lightnings on the ocean, but without rain till now, listening to U2/The Joshua Tree.

Life is good :-)

This morning, we were first at the Corossol beach. Really marvelous again, but a very tiny beach actually. So, after a while, we decided to go back to Saline… Pffuuu, again fantastic colors, some funny waves to play with my son.
