Even today we are not granted sunshine at breakfast - but that doesn't mean anything, as we have learned in the last few days, even if Grandpa doesn't perform a weather dance today (maybe he has left...?)
So we head to another snorkeling spot, Anse Soleil - the sunny beach. After about 20 minutes drive, we park the car and walk the last few meters up a steep slope to the bay. Once we arrive here, it starts raining, good thing we left our belongings in the car. So let's get into the water, this time we have to swim out a bit before the water gets clearer. But then we are rewarded with a variety of fish and simply enjoy these underwater impressions. Afterwards, we enjoy the beach a little, observe other vacationers and finally the beach lives up to its name and the sun comes out. Therefore, we cannot resist enjoying the underwater world again in better lighting conditions, and we venture into the waves once again.... Fantastic!!!
On the way home, we make a stop at Anse Interdance, which is touted in the travel guide as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Without a doubt, the beach has its charm, with the big waves breaking white and foamy on the shore and framed by granite rocks on the right and left. Nevertheless, we both agree that we have already seen and experienced more paradise-like bays, especially since you can not swim, let alone snorkel, here due to the strong waves. So we take some photos and decide to come back here for a sunset. Now it's back to our apartment.
Here we spend the afternoon in a relaxed way, before we explore our hometown 'Anse Royal' and its numerous 'supermarkets' (or rather Aunt Emma shops), a few souvenir shops&Co. By the way, there is one of the island's few 'hospitals' here in town - I would be interested to see what it looks like inside. The ambulance outside the door definitely looks a bit worn out - and would probably be considered highly modern by local standards. At this point, we are once again aware of the high standards prevailing in Germany and appreciate them even more. But who knows, maybe we can arrange a little tour of the local clinic in the next few days.
