St. Barts

After two peaceful days at sea, we arrived this morning at St. Barts (France). A beautifully picturesque island - very hilly, dotted with white houses and red roofs. What struck us first were the number of enormous private yachts dotting the coves and waterfront. A very clean island, good roads, expensive shops and cafes. We took our folding bikes along and rode up and down the coastal roads. Unfortunately the hills were so steep, we did have to turn back a few times. We did find Shell Beach - which was just out of this world.
