We are anchored off this small island today and are being tendered in to walk the beautiful beach and visit settlements. Dale planes to climb the 800ft peak this morning while the rest of us take our time leaving the ship. G & I will walk to the village and explore a bit then settle on the beach to enjoy. I will take my sketching materials and see what inspires me. This island is hilly with tall araucaria or norfalk pines dotting the landscape. They add interest to the otherwise tropical rain forest. Land was once part of New Zealand..pre dinosaur of course!
Deck party was nice..lovely evening and smaller venue made it look busy. Nicely done. Barbeque on deck this evening entices us to eat there rather than formal dining. Love to try all the new dishes though, some successful and some not!! I love the pumpkin soups.
We are off to a late breakfast then off to Ile des Pins. French here too...oh boy..or mon dieu!! M
