Guadeloupe Tour (Continuation and End!)

[ad_1]

We have reached the last day of discovery of this planet Guadeloupeit really went by too fast!!!

On the other hand, there is no “Lando“The weather is not good today, so I went to visit!!

What if we go to the Coco House? Lina Agreed, because she has no idea how chocolate is made!

Let’s start with the cocoa tree, where the pods grow directly on the trunk:

The visit took place in a wooded garden.

There we still find very beautiful vegetation:

Lina Learned a lot about cocoa! What about you? Will you succeed?

Hey, these are two West Indians picking cocoa!!!!

The visit ended with a tasting, where we got to taste everything (even the not-so-good stuff!!!), like here, undried beans straight from the pod!

Then they must be dried

And grind them into powder!

On the table there were the skins of the dried beans (ok, we didn’t taste them yet, but you can’t eat them!), then they were crushed and ground (so we tasted them, but it was still inedible) Okay, actually it was quite bitter, it was 100% cocoa, I’ll let you imagine that. )

Ah this is the best!!!! Hot chocolate!! Made from cocoa powder (pure!), sugar and water!

Now Lina Know all about Coco!

We took a road lined with sugar cane fields to the aquarium in Pointe-à-Pitre!

We were given a very warm welcome there!!!

Zoe Very impressed with the lobster!

wait Lina I really want to pet the fish!

But what really amazed them was seeing the shark up close!

They took the time to point them at us!!!!

Well girls, let’s see what happens next! ! ! !

We found spherical fish,

Multicolor,

Seahorse,

Very spicy sea urchin,

Even very unexpected species! ! !

But there are also very beautiful turtles.

The aquarium is not very big but it has a lot of things!

Since the weather hasn’t improved yet, we decided to take the opportunity to check out Grande-Terre, finally a part of it!

We will actually be driving along the south coast, from Pointe-à-Pitre to Saint-François. Here is a map to help you find your location:

We first stopped at the beach in SainteAnne :

Meanwhile, Hurricane Tomas is passing through the southern United States. Martinique The south coast is also feeling the effects Guadeloupe : The sea was rough and windy.

The girls are about to fly away! ! ! ! !

We are now at St. Francois Beach. Well, the trees are leaning in front and the wind is blowing in front. Isn’t it?Not that violent!!!

Come, let us take one last breath of air.”Guadeloupe“(I won’t say sailor because we have this everyday!!!)

Today, Sunday, departure day! smell I would stay there, there is so much more to see!!!!

I took one last photo at Grande Anse Beach (where we had our first swim, remember??? I locked my car keys there!!! I’m sure you remember more!)

We are on the plane now, we can’t see clearly in this photo Guadeloupe But on the other hand, we could see the coral reef very clearly: we saw turquoise water, a white line, and then the water suddenly became very dark, which showed that it had become very deep!

Zoe Keep reading!

Wow !it’s beautiful!

Yes SabahThe top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, which is not bad! According to the records, Sabah It is the highest peak in the Netherlands, at 877 meters above sea level (but in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!!!)
