We’ve cleared in to Guadeloupe. And out. That’s it – all out in and out paperwork done on one sheet – the simplest I’ve had to fill in so far. We now have until end of Feb and can leave without any more paperwork. That’s really good news.
I also learned the carnival is off this year due to the financial crisis. Not sure if that means just in Basse-Terre so we’ll have to check in Point-a-Pitre. We had been looking forward to that. It was due to occur from around Feb 23 to Feb 25. Oh well.
We also decided to spend today in the local area planning our days ahead. We’ll walk the mile into Basse-Terre proper and, among other things, visit the tourist office. We read the hiking book and fancy doing both the crater exploration as well as the walk down to see the Carbet Falls – maybe all of them. We’ll need to be prepared for this as it’s a one way hike so we’ll need to understand what transportation options we have.
Chances are I’ll also do the oil change this afternoon and other small fixings. We’ll see. Helen and I both had a patch sleep last night and I’ve woken not feeling my best. Glad we decided not to hike today.
