First impressions











Since I got here, to the Gosier, four days ago I've participated in a traditional baptism ceremony, swum to the Ilet du Gosier some 500 meters off the Gosier coast, watched an African dance show, had dinner at the Marina, gone to a presentation about the traditional drums Gwo-ka, marched in the parade of the Batille Day, spoken Creole (yay!), and listened to it at all times. These have been truly intense days. But I have to say I couldn't wish for a better beginning of my journey. Although it will still take quite a few days (if not weeks) till I really start feeling at ease here - but thanks to the people I have met so far, and to the exceptional hospitality of my local host, Wilfrid, I already love this island.


Above is a preview of my Guadelouean life...

Hihihi, ta sama Magda, co zaledwie tydzień temu mówiła, jaka to czuje się "zacofana" pod względem komputerowym, dziś zakłada bloga :) Trzymam kciuki za wytywałość!!!
