Most of the tourists in Guadeloupe usually make it to Terre-de-Haut, the
main island of the archipel les Saintes. In total there are nine islands (seven of which there are no people living), which belong to les Saintes. The second inhabited island,
Terre-de-Bas, is much calmer, less toursitic and extremely green. Great for
hiking and getting close to the nature! We went for a day trip with the
local bus-ferry (20 min crossing) and did the big hiking circle of 3
hours. Within the forest we found some local crabs, the famous allspice
(or Jamaica pepper) tree (see picture of green leaves below), which is know
also as "quatre epices" as its aroma reminds of a combination of
cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Some creative post boxes caught my eye in
the village as well as the friendly Tourism Office selling local
products:-)

Jana, you are always on the move! I loved browsing your photos - so vivid with color and warmth. They were welcomed by my snow wearied eyes!
Did Nico repair this door or was it already in this state?
Greetings,
Filip
