Hi Susan! It looks like a lovely trip!

Cheers, RickG

A friend drove by the parking lot and took this pic showing that the paving is done! They are still saying opening in January though. Meanwhile if you get there early grab one of the parking spots just south of the entrance on the little side roads. Tolerable walk via the "horsepath," a hundred yards or so north of the entrance. NOT through the construction zone! The cops have arrested people walking in there!

Observations

Options from 3 islets to st pierre

Theres a big bus which is direct from FDF to St Pierre. A quick navette at any of the three docks and you are on your way. The bus stop is near Copacabana resto/bar. Or

Join Kata Mamba for a one way trip to St Pierre. I dont know if the reverse option exists. The catamaran departs at 8am at Point de Bout marina. Stop in their shop for details. Or

Taxis are $60 hr to tour departing from FDF.


Sim card

They have kiosks to buy a sim card in St Pierre grocery store. Its 9.99e for 150gb/mth. No contract. You need your IBAN at the kiosk. A sim card dispenser is a novel idea. PS the usual passport # is not an option.

Fresh fish in 3 islets

If you walk the beach from le kato resto towards Point du Bout, youll find a fisher cleaning his fish near yellow and white cas. Its $15e/kilo for tuna n marlin these days. Not sure if only frozen or catch of the day too.

Vanilla and spices in 3 islets

There a great local spices, vanilla pods, perfumes, etc shop at the roundabout heading away from creole village (not the 3 usual exists, the exit to the back of the busy area. Its only 30 feet or so up the road)

Thats all the random thoughts I have for now.


Au plaisir
