Martin,
More than likely you will need to overnight in PTP. We stayed two separate nights in PTP at the Saint John Perse. It is a dive-know that up front. But close to the airport and not as much of a dive as you COULD get in the area!
We hung out both nights at the little Indian rest just behind the hotel. Good food but the company was the best part! The guys from the rest were really nice and we had several good chats. But the group from the upstairs tatoo parlor topped it off. If you go there you will see them-quite a mix of people from Prague, France, etc. and they have these two little dogs that are sweet. The tall guy with the cowboy hat and really rough cigarette voice is a site! This is also the area near the cruise ship dock and we watched the ship being loaded up right before Christmas with people from Italy and France. Some of the boat crew (dancers) were eating and it was just funny... They have a good front desk staff, wake up calls, bfast included, clean rooms, close to the ferry dock and a short taxi from the airport. Room should run you 80E and I have a good person that can make the reservation if you need help. We wandered around some but most people I know would not have even gotten out of the taxi at the Hotel! We just go with the flow and figure it's all good :-) We even had a good time for a while helping the Costa rep 'welcome' everyone onto the ship in their countries language-all in a days fun on this trip. We also met a nice young guy from the French Navy on his way to his families home on TdB-shared a taxi to the ferry and saw him again with his entire family eating at Chez Eugentte the day we came over to TdB! Good grief, I really need to write that darn report and quit sending snipits.
I did send you the PM so let me know if you have any other questions. Talk to you soon,
Erma
