Snorkeling trip

Half day boat charter with Wet and Wild today. The driver QJ (Quentin Junior) was really nice and took us to his favourite spots. First we swam with Giant Trevally fish - they were huge dark grey/black fish that could swim so fast! He fed them a bit so we could see them thrash around at the surface. Rosie was so brave and went in to swim with them with Matt without seeming at all nervous. And she managed to climb in and out of the boat down the ladder with hardly any help.
Poppy was very sleepy and chilled so QJ gave her a cuddle whilst I went in as well.
We went to another spot afterwards which had giant clams - even bigger than the ones we saw in Rarotonga!
And there were some beautiful corals there with all sorts of different fish I hadn't seen before.
Poppy had a sleep and Rosie had another swim which kept her entertained. They brought us a drinking coconut for the boat which was deliciously sweet and so refreshing.
Last stop was One Foot Island where Rosie and I had a play in the sea and we had a bit to eat and a quick explore. Rosie said she wanted to stay there "all the night". It was idyllic.
Spent the afternoon at the beach near the airport. The tide was so low that Rosie could walk alongside us and look right into the corals and see the reef fish, blue starfish, sea slugs and ragworm (?) up close. Poppy came in for a dip too :)
Early dinner and Rosie fell asleep at the table as soon as she finished!
Poppy was very vocal tonight and spent most of the time chewing Matt's watch - I think she's teething at the moment. Her eye seems lots better today.
Lagoon cruise and beach BBQ tomorrow and on Wednesday I have a massage booked!Läs mer
