Sunday was our first family boat trip. We piled on the ferry headed to
La Desirade riding through the choppy waters with great speed. Some of
us our more sea worthy than others :-)
Peter enjoyed navigating the dirt road through this arid
land on our rented 4 x 4. We explored the eastern shore with it's
abandoned buildings (very LOST like) and a significant amount of free
range goats and chickens.
Here we are at the lookout on top of the island. La Desirade boasts
untouched nature, but up here we are surrounded by modern windmills - a
green energy source.
This stunning view is from the top of the island. Directly below you can see the beach we are headed to Plage du Souffleur. Again, palm trees shade the peaceful shores. We play in the white sand and swim in the clear warm, waters.
This is a picture of almost six month old Milo enjoying the beach. He's surprisingly sand free in this picture, because while waiting for the camera feature to load, just a few seconds ago, he got knocked down by a wave. All smiles, though, he loves the water too.
The eastern shore is home to the iguanas and crashing waves on a distinctive craggy shore. We stopped to admire the view and seek out the resting and moving iguanas. A full day of sun, sand and water. We loved travelling together and look forward to exploring the other islands in the Guadeloupe archipelago.
