Guadeloupe in April - Hi there,
stayed on the island(le moule)for 3 weeks in April. Had nice surf in le moule and on the north west coast. even with windy conditions le moule stayed stabil!
Hint: Check out the red barbecue chicken cottage @ le moule harbour! The chicken is for sure the best on planet earth, we ate them every evening for over 15nights in the row!!!
