The next decade....what's in store?

Guadeloupe

I had heard that Guadeloupe was the less sophisticated of the French West Indian islands. Very ordinary on the side that we are (Point a Pitre). We are supposed to drive to Basse-Terre on the other side (Guadeloupe is shaped like a butterfly) this afternoon, however in the morning session today, it was invaded by worker representatives who say they are not allowing the conference to continue until their demands are met.

Apparently they are not satisfied with wages etc and they say this is an HR conference of the tourism industry so they felt it was a good stage. We shall see.

I didn't go to the morning session....wasn't interested in the topic. Went on the beach instead....

This is the view de ma chambre

I forgot to pack a pair of flat slippers...can you imagine, and I had an extra day because Liat cancelled the flight on Tuesday, so I didn't leave Grenada until Wednesday. Luckily I had brought this shoes which I bought at Barratts in Leeds.

And this is me on the beach while the morning session was going on. A French Canadian woman struck up a conversation with me, and took the photo plus some others.
