On Sunday we decided to explore beyond Noumea and with Paul & Rhu
(Oyster Moon) and Charles and Aurora (local Looping lovers) and headed
to Ilot Amedee. It is a beautiful little island covered in coconut
palms and boasts the tallest lighthouse in New Caledonia. It was
commissioned by Napoleon 3rd and was designed by Eiffel – the same
clever chap who also built something large in the middle of Paris!

So we set off at 8.30am and arrived in time to drop the anchor at
lunchtime. After lunch we went ashore and had a look. Here are some
photos attached.
