Baguetts

Another day in paradise

We have been here before and visited the most beautiful botanical gardens. This time we climbed up the hill above the town on the trail, that gave us, coming to the top, a spectacular view of the Grand Anse beach. Walking two hours up and down the beach made us realize , that sailing doesn’t give us enough exercise. Dehais is charming. Small town, neat, clean, friendly with many restaurants, cafes, bakeries, shops. Baguetts are freshly baked in the morning and in the afternoon. But the town is deserted from 12:00 to 3:30. Everything is closed for siesta. The church up the hill is overlooking the town as if guarding it. The bell from it’s steeple reminding us every fifteen minutes, how fast the time is going by, or maybe, that we have time left to enjoy.
