Albert, a local fisherman who we befriended ten years ago when we were in Dominica took us for a trip down 'the indian river'. The river goes across swamp land and then the giant bloodwood trees arch over with the roots twisting down into the water. Parts of Pirates of the caribbean 2 were filmed on this river. Albert helped with the filming carrying the pretend weapons in his boat up the river for the actors.

Levi took us into the depths of the rainforest in the south of the island, it was like being in a scene from Jurassic park. Below trafalgar falls Levi we climbed down to a hot water spring. We were in heaven, Levi had to drag us out!

Wow! that looks such great fun! It looks like Isla had a fab birthday, and Easter didn't look too bad either. If you felt that you didn't have enough chocolate eggs I'm sure that there will be some of ours left when you come back! You are missed here, class 4 have a new teacher all to themselves in the mornings, she is very nice. Toby was able to teach us how to pronounce Guadeloupe as Mr Sharp in class 1 read them your postcard. Amber and Toby like the sound of Carribean school policies! The weather here is typical April, a tiny bit of sun, lots of showers and not very warm, far better than the Carribean could ever be I'm sure!
