Christmas 2007 in a french paradise island

I finally made it to the sunny island of Guadeloupe on the 23th December. I arrived late at night and had to fork out 85 Eur (gasp!!!) to get a taxi from the airport to the hotel. Tired but happy I crashed almost immediately on by massive bed and slept in a diagonal position for once!

I headed to the beach the next day with my brother and his family and then quickly made my way back to the airport to pick up my parents.




Christmas day was heaps of fun. We spent the day in the house rented by my brother and his wife s family and celebrated there by splashing in the pool and having a BBQ. We also decided to head to the beach to enjoy some Champagne while catching the sunset. It was pure bliss.


I couldn t have wished for a better christmas this year. I was lucky to be surrounded by my family in an environment that bring out the best in people (ie. sun, beach, coconuts and rum!). It allowed me to stop "travelling" for a short time and be "normal"...although the island did cut a big whole in my wallet (ie French prices in paradise).

And to finish it off here s a picture of little William....deja un tombeur...
