Day 51 Iles Du Salut

05,17N 052,35W  We got here in rain at midnight and moored in the dark! Searenity went in first so we followed his lights. Thanks heavens for good gps instruments. Went onto the largest island of the 3. It has a hotel and a few old buildings. The wild life was great, huge Iguana, monkeys who stole the chickens eggs while we watched and strange small brown animals, something between a rabbit and a buck? The two Macaw Parrots where spectacular, roaming free. The one likes toes and when I wasn't looking attacked mine sending me running. Day trip tour boats arrive from the mainland, French Guyane, daily. It was Papillon who was imprisoned on one of the 3 islands. The buildings are very broken down and overgrown. The area is covered in palm trees, we broke open a coconut and ate the best fresh coconut ever! Leave for Trinidad tomorrow, last long stretch of 4 days.
