Day 2 – Morning rainbow and Gouverneur beach

This morning we had a quite strong shower and immediately afterwards, a nice great rainbow.

Some minutes later, the landscape has evolved and was divided in two pieces: sunny + rainy/rainbow!

Later on, first visit to Gouverneur beach.
Hot, almost no wave, fantastic colors as usual….

Day 1 – Thunderstorm in St Martin, first sunset

Writing this from the terrace of our villa (nice one, more to come) with a good cigar, after our usual great dinner at Hideaway.
Marché U and Maya’s-to-go definitely helped to enter the right island groove :-)

First planteur, first vanilla rum, quite a lot of known faces.
First jump in the nice infinity swimming-pool, perfect temperature, we feel good….

Travel would have been totally uneventful if we would not have experienced our first thunderstorm in Saint Martin. Actually we were already in our Winair plane when the pilot decided that we should better wait. See the picture below, good idea indeed!

So, our arrival was delayed from 1h, but who cares :-) Cloudy flight between Saint Martin and Saint Barth.

The villa at Pointe Milou has an amazing view and we could attend to our first Caribbean sunset-show before visiting "le Grand Anglais" (who was not there this night), wow…

Now jet-lagged, tired, but soooo happy :-)

Day 0 – Out of office activated

I like so much to be able to press this button :-)

So, tomorrow we are flying to Saint Barth, luggage ready, the 3 of us totally excited as it would be the first time. 12th visit there, still the same *feeling of happiness* (you know what I mean). And yes, feeling lucky for sure also…
So glad that I will be able to: take time with family, discuss during hours and hours about the “right” beach and restaurant each day, take some pictures & videos, smoke some good cigars, taste some new rums, read & sleep a lot, discover again the island, simply have fun :-)

See you on the other side!

Day 17 – Last hours in Saint Barth…

So, as planned, a good breakfast from Maya’s to go on the Saint Jean Beach. Nice!

"Usual" spectacle there!

Last vibrant Caribbean colors.

Wow, now we have to go back to "reality" ;-)
Next trip already booked, in less than 6 months (first 2 weeks of August). This helps!

Day 16 – Toiny’s stroll and Saline

Outch, last dinner and last cigar on the terrace in Saint Barth…
Again a full intensive day with first the Toiny’s stroll in the morning and then, the last visit to Saline beach.
Tomorrow afternoon, we will fly back to our cold home sweet home, brrr.
Everything is prepared so that we will be able to have a cool breakfast and a last morning on the beach.
And then, bye bye!

Day 13 – Rough sea, Shell beach and Gouverneur

That was again a full intense Saint Barth day ;-)
First a 3h Skype with Dubai and Zurich in the morning for the business, okay okay…
But then, an absolutely great beach lunch at Shell Beach (Do Brazil).
Shell beach was quite rough, but so brilliant!

Then, after lunch, a cool visit to Gouverneur beach.
Wow, great waves, rough, funny.

Day 12 – Flea market and nice trees in Colombier

There was an interesting flea market in Colombier yesterday, cool feeling.
We found some stuff for Julien, it didn’t happen so often that he is getting something back from our Saint Barth shopping!

Little stroll from the villa (we are not so far ;-) where we see two marvelous trees (some of you know them well for sure).
