Grand Case is a lovely waterfront town with a long main street that runs parallel to a curving golden beach. It struck me as the perfect place for a low key beach vacation. The main street is packed with unique shops and restaurants ranging from inexpensive BBQ bars flouting ribs to fancy French cuisine with lobsters awaiting their fate in well-lit display pools. At night the town comes to life: tourists and locals spill onto the street, irresistibly danceable music pours from countless speakers, and welcoming light seeps from shops open well into the night.
A rocky island called Rocher Creole sits off the north end of the bay with excellent snorkeling. While testing out our new waterproof camera chasing various fish around we were lucky enough to see three spotted eagle rays soaring off into the deep water to the north. The only other time we've encountered them was in the BVIs while scuba diving.
Speaking of the BVIs, we've decided it is time to move on again and will be sailing back to Virgin Gorda this evening. We should arrive back in familiar waters tomorrow morning. Part of the desire to return is to enjoy some more of the amazing scuba diving found there. It is by far the most convenient place for it, with dive shops scattered throughout the islands and mooring balls available at most dive sites.
Also it will be nice to have free Internet again. The French islands have a strong hold over wifi and we've only been able to access the Internet through the chip in the iPad. So pictures will be coming soon!
Until tomorrow,
Nicole.
Update: We are actually leaving tomorrow night as customs was closed today due to elections.
