So now on the island
Tina McInerney
We have spent the last week on an island off the west coast of France. We stayed in a beautiful village called St Martin-de-Re. There were about 10 villages on the island, all very pretty with white rendered houses and red tiled roofs. We had a lovely time wandering around St Martin, visiting the other villages, climbing lighthouses, riding bikes (not Dad and me for the last 2), eating crepes and croissants. It was lovely and the weather was great except our last day. It rained all day so we decided to go to La Rochelle to the aquarium as did hundreds of other holidaymakers - I should say Andy and Tony went to the Aquarium with the girls whilst Claire and I walked into the old town of La Rochelle to have a look around. Here is a batch of photos to give you an idea of the villages and the ports. Also St Martin had been a huge fort so it is surrounded by thick walls that you can walk around.
