The cafe dock, looking out over the anchorage.


One of the pretty gardens I told you about.

  
The shell strewn church.

The boats are lifted by rolling up straps attached to the axels on these big wheels.

The shingle on the beach... just dead coral. The whole island is made of coral...

One of the residents under our boat: a sort of remora. See the pad on the top of his head to attach himself to bigger fish?This one was about  3 1/2 feet long., much bigger than any we saw on sharks.

En route to the South of the atoll, seeing the waves break on the outside reef.
