Useful infos: la Guadeloupe!

FIRST of ALL: It is so long time that we thought to have a beautiful travel without having one precise destination but with two firm points: to find a wonderful sea and to spend as little money as possible.
Giving up all those places that were too much fashionable or "spoiled" from the mass tourism, we began to consider some tips like the cost of living, the absence of dangerous animals and the presence of some "comforts" like banks, hospitals, doctors and supermarkets.
Result: Guadeloupe!

This archipelago, with St.Martin and the Martinique, is part of the oversea departments of France: you only need the identity card, you pay in French francs, you eat French baguettes, but it is really hard to believe to be in France! From June, in the Antilles, it starts the low season, as the sky is less limpid and every time you risk a short (but intense) shower.
By telephone we contact the airline in order to reserve our flight Bologna-Pointe à Pitre (via Paris) succeeding to obtain the lower rate. Then we reserve the first week in a small flat ("gite") near one of the best beaches: St. Anne in Grande Terre. But when we will be on the place, we will decide to confirm the second week too, as we were enthusiastic about the beauty of the place and the many comforts offered from our small flat and garden.
