Belated Pics

Friday Sept 1st

Bonjour tout le monde!

Well we have one very excited bunch of kids here at present!  We met the kids and their billet families in the reception area of our hotel at 7am. After fond farewells, we were lucky enough for the kids to be able to get into their rooms instead of us having to wait until 2pm as we usually do. ( Baz and I had to wait until 2pm though!).

We ventured off to the beach at 9am to begin our paddleboarding/ kayaking session.  There was a breeze down there but that didn't stop our crew from diving straight into the water!  Yesterday when we went down to catch our water taxi to Isle du Canard, we passed a couple of St Tropez style sunbathers!  They were sooo brown and set back from the water's edge where we were walking that they went completely unnoticed by the kids, which is always a relief.  It's difficult for the kids to ignore them if they are spotted - especially the boys, who in the past have nearly tripped over themselves as they gawp walking past!  Today's sun worshipper though was every bit as brown but a bit more obvious.  Just another cultural difference for the kids to observe!

They all had a great time on the paddle boards and kayaks. once Chris was up on one, there was no stopping him!

Much fun had by all

We walked up to the reserve area in front of the Hilton and ate our lunch there before the shopping expedition that followed!  There is a huge treasure chest of goodies coming your way very soon!

I'm about to take the kids downstairs for dinner. I will post yesterday's pics when we come back to our rooms.
