Ile des Pins

Excellent birding opportunities on Ile des Pins and we have added about 10 lifers (birds never seen before in our life).   Interesting history of convicts being shipped from France and imprisoned here.  When we first arrived the skies were cloudy and rainy and we certainly didn’t agree that the Ile des Pins is the most beautiful island in the world.  Today, however, it was clear and sunny and “stunningly beautiful” just as the books say.  What a difference the sun makes. 

 

The bay where we are has internet.  It is stunningly slow and irritating.  Most of the pictures that I’ve tried to put in our blog or put in Facebook have failed by timing out.  I agree with Barry – we were happier when we had no internet and didn’t even try.  Today is our last day of internet for tomorrow we leave for remote anchorages.  If you want to keep up you really should check our blog: svsunrisenews.blogspot.com or google svsunrise.
