Point des Chateaux
Posted by Ree in Guadeloupe on 28/Nov/2005
Point des Chateaux
Pointe des Chateaux is the easternmost tip of Guadeloupe, where the placid Caribbean meets the antagonistic Atlantic ocean and the two engage in a dramatic conversation. Or is it an argument? It's hard to tell.

So this is the unforgettable Bavaro beach. It's beautiful and pristine, as you can see. Employees even pick up loose seaweed daily, so as not to defile your experience of white sand and clear water.

There are designated swimming areas, and the Caribbean changes color depending on the time of day and amount of sunlight and wind.

Hotel Pergola
If the blandness and price tag of the big resorts in Gosier are not your cup of tea, you might be tempted to stay at the Hotel Pergola, a run-down villa right above the beach... Unless you bring your own lightbulbs, toilet paper, pillow, soap and towel don't even consider it.

Posted by Ree in Quebec on 05/Aug/2005
Magog
Part of the Eastern Townships, Magog is a small village on the shores of Lake Memphremagog. It's a half hour from the Vermont border, and about an hour (and a century or so) away from Montreal.

A Manicured Jungle
Posted by Ree in Guadeloupe » Attractions on 15/Nov/2004
Jardin Botanique
The Botanical Garden in Deshaies (Basse-Terre) is the most manicured jungle ever. And yet to my surprise, I found some of its inhabitants to be almost uncannily ferocious.
