Are you planning to stay in Guadeloupe? Any recommendations there? We hope to start our journey before the christmas and Guadeloupe has been one of the possibilities for a new place to visit.

I will be travelling with a co-worker, and we'll begin our journey with two weeks on Guadeloupe for a language course (french). We will arrive on Friday night November 4th, have the weekend to ourselves, and then the course starts Monday morning. Some kind of excursion for the weekend in the middle I think. Saturday morning Nov 19th we leave for SBH and one week vacation (staying in Case a FoFo).

On Guadeloupe we'll be staying in St Anne, that's on the south coast not far from St Francois. That happens to be where the school is, and it looks nice. The long beach just around the corner ;) wich has it's advantages as we won't have a car here.

On the first weekend, and later when we get afternoons and evenings off we plan on hopping on buses and explore the island budget style. If possible I want to go to Marie Galante, and visit some of the rhum destilleries there. I must find out their opening hours, on weekends? and how to get around on Marie Galante? We also have Armistice day off, maybe we will rent a car and visit Basse-Terre and the vulcano, hiking to one or more of the waterfalls?

The plan is simple - go with the flow... Somehow somewhere I will visit a destillery, maybe Damoiseau in Le Moule... Hours will be spent reading french verbs on the beach... If we feel up to it and the weather is right we will hike... If the weather suck we spend evenings sucking on a rum punch...

Our main objectives are to learn some french, listen to french, get by in a frenchspeaking environment - and to wind down, stop looking at the watch, to relax...

And hopefully stay out of tropical storms...
