Nice day in Deshaies, Guadeloupe

 Waiting for immigration and customs yesterday to open at 4:30pm!  We had to find something to do.  No ice for our drinks.
Bruce tried and tried to get internet connection; finally got it but after so many tries he forgot what he used as a user ID and password; he was so frustrated.  Turns out the user name was "Bozotheclown" and the password was "frogwater".  Appropriate??
Today, Sunday, we visited the Botanical Gardens here in Deshaies, just a mile or so up the road.  It was fantastic.  So many species of plants and flowers to delight the soul, waterfalls, ponds full of Koi and flamingos.  Even Bruce enjoyed it.  To the right is one of our feathered friends that would come and sit on your arm or hand.
It's been difficult communicating as absolutely no-one speaks English.  And if they do, they don't let you know it.  Simba is good at Rasta speak but as worthless as us with French.
