Exploring Martinique by car.


A bath after a hard day of mountain hiking.

Another bath after a hard day of mountain hiking.

We climbed the highest mountain on Martinique, Mount Pele, which exploded in 1902 and destroyed the prosperous capital St. Pierre. It can quickly get very cloudy on top.

A kolibri just close by our path.

You find Heliconiae everywhere along the hiking paths.

Huge trees, here a certain fig, which grows around other trees, a house or something else, which would keep it up.

A few places water was transported by those canals to the sugar cane mills. Now the edges of those canals serve as hiking trails.

There are many bananaplantations here on Martinique, and there is water and warmth enough.
