Hi All,
We have just returned from our day tour of Ouvea,
the northernmost of the Loyalty Islands. Ouvea is a low, uplifted Island which
curves around in a reverse crescent to make a lagoon about 15nm long bu about
10nm wide - the lagoon is the bluest water we have seen on this year's cruise.
We boarded a bus with most of the rest of the rally fleet at about 1.30pm. We
were frotunate enough to be able to spilt all seven of the kids (Us x2 SF x 1
and Utopia x 4) into a nine seter mini bus and the extra parents were able to
travel in the car which John and Lynne (the raly organisers) rented while we are
here.
We then set off around the island visiting a soap
factory, two blue holes the cathedral, and finally the supermarket ( we shopped
'em out like a plague of locusts). We returned back to the pickup point with
Cate practising her french on Dawn, our Driver. At the end of the trip Dawn
promised to deliver us some pampelemouse from her tree tomorrow
morning.
We haven't yet decided what we are going to do
tomorrow, will see what the weather brings. Another sh*&^y dy in
paradise....
