Saint Pierre

La Reunion is a small island. It takes two hours from saint de4nis in the north to Saint Pierre in the southwest. Since the northern coast is all steep cliffs, they built this enormous bridge a few hundred meters off the coast into the sea, very impressive.

Saint Pierre is just as sleepy as Saint Denis, especially the southern part which they call the fishing village, called Terre Sainte. Everything here seems to be one saint or another, although in the evenings a muezzin is calling also and there is a temple for everything.

We are south of the equator here so it’s midsummer, and it’s quite hot. It’s funny to see Christmas ornaments in the palm trees.
