After a short flight, and easy shuttle connection I’ve arrived in St.Jean! The weather is remarkably warm and I’ve already managed to get a very mild sunburn. As luck would have it I have only one roommate, a girl from Brazil around my age. We have a private bath, so adapting to communal living is avoided for one more day.

 I spent the afternoon wandering the perfectly French city with two others from Ireland. Clearly, being alone is an active choice! This evening we have a communal dinner with everyone staying at our hostel. So far, very little anxiety about the task ahead tomorrow, but we’ll see how I feel in the morning!
