Time for Tea
Back to the sun shining and time to plan what to do for the day. Shaun had to check the tide and weather just to make sure …
We headed off just after 9 to find one of the tea plantations on the island. Bois Cheri which started in 1892 and offered factory tours and tea tastings.
Just like everywhere else, it seems, it was an hour away. But this time south and then inland on some switch back roads through the forests. The peak on the right is the one behind us here at La Preneuse.
Arriving at the plantation we visited the museum before joining a tour of the factory. Last modernized in 1953 but still going strong!
Factory visit and tea tasting over, we headed back to La Prenusue along the southern edge of the island. Really wild with lots of wind and big waves!
One more stop at Bel Ombre and the C Beach Club for some lunch before heading into the hills and forests once more and back to La Preneuse.
The late afternoon here was just beautiful – the sun was setting so we strolled up and down the beach before settling in at the villa to watch the sunset.
An early night … tomorrow we are off on our boat trip!
