Day 10 Martinique

Copy of 100_0610.jpg
Another 8am snoozer. Breakfast at 8:30. I am really liking this French breakfast routine. The coconut jam and the coffee are slowly becoming habit forming. It pretty much rained all morning so I just kicked back in the room relaxing. Later in the day I figured it was time to get in shape so I figured a little hike was in order.

The actual Trois-Ilets village was about a 5 kilometer walk north of where I was staying. I had walked the beginning of the road but decided against it because there were no actual walking path. The road basically ended at the weeds. I spend that day dodging cars as I walked up and down rolling hills. It was easily the most humid day of my entire trip. I had actually never sweated so much before. After about an hour and a half I finally made it to the quaint little town. The village was just a little historic seaside port that had yet to feel the changes from tourism. There was really not much to see so I just made a quick run through. The most interesting things I came across were the little kids playing in the school yard singing french play songs. The other was a memorial site dedicated to Emperess Josephine where she was baptized in 1763. The people still hold her in fond memory because there were fresh flowers and a dozen lit candles at the road side shrine.

Once I got back to the hotel, I did a quick shower and a nap. Once refreshed I headed back into town to try and work on the logistics of getting to the airport on Sunday morning. Like many other countries/islands, everything closes on Sundays. This brings pretty much everything to a crashing halt. I checked on the Ferry schedule back to Fort-de-France. There was a Ferry that ran at 7 in the morning so if all else failed I could get back to the big city where I’m sure I could catch a taxi. While I was hanging around the harbor I noticed a guy with a laptop and a cell link. I just inquired with him about any local internet access and got into a little conversation on why his computer was running so slow. With him being a novice, it was a quick fix to get his computer back to speed. While doing so he let me throw the quick message about me not being dead and that I was finding it difficult to get power for my laptop as well as to find general internet access.

Once I had at least made a little bit of progress on both fronts I grabbed my usual ingredients for dinner. While talking to my Rasta produce dealers, I inquired with him on a transport to the airport. He said no problem for $30 E. With that I was happy to not have to deal with it anymore. The only other good option I had would have been to cut a day off of the resort and head back into town where I would stay the night at the sex resort and then grab a taxi from there. With the Rasta, I could bath myself in luxury for one more night, as well as get some more booby action in.

That night I stayed up later than 10pm so I did a stroll through town. There was not a lot happening with only a few of the restaurants being packed while most only had one or two groups in them. No clubs or parties per se, so after the stroll I turned in.

Hey,
Steve, I understand one of the manager who worked at the store previously is coming back.
Nothing new is happening around here. The same daily task.

Hey Mr. Warner

Good to hear from you. Which island were you from? I couldn't remember if it was St. Lucia or not. If it was I got to go there twice.

Steve
