Sunday swims

There's too much choice!  Most Sunday afternoons Max wakes up from a sleep and we head off to the beach.  But before we leave, it often gets a bit tense - which beach should we go to?  There's the Baie des Citrons - which is sheltered, warm,has a delicious icecream shop to visit after a swim but can get a bit busy.  Or, there's Anse Vata - a bit windy, but less busy and another delicious icecream shop nearby.  Then there's the Meridien beach - more sheltered than Anse Vata and it has fantastic kite surfers to watch. Finally, there's Kuendu which is a little drive away but is a wide shallow bay where you can just let kids go.  We love to wander over the pathways that link up the overwater bungalows there.  It feels like we go on a little holiday without leaving home when we go to Kuendu.

Most often the icecream wins.  Here's a selection of pics from some of the beaches.  Recently Anse Vata has been our beach of choice.  Max seems to be a magnet for the local kids and some of these little girls taught him how to do the perfect squeal a few weeks ago.  Long 
after we've washed off the warm, salty water we're being regailed by that squeal!
