Pindache

A bit of a trek on treacherous roads (wild dogs, chickens, rats, kids, and sundowning Kanaks) and we have finally arrived on Cote Est at our resort village. A lovely room. Settling down to a bevvy (see pic!), and about to have dinner. The Pacific Ocean is lapping outside our window. Just here for a night, then heading to the Cote Oest to the Sheraton.

Not impressed with QANTAS tonight. Our plane was late by an hour, as they loaded 9 clients on wheelchairs. The only reason I say that, is the scrubber gate clerk told us a dozen times, and (I feel) beached their privacy by saying, "and they all gave their own wheelchairs and they take so long to load!" Anyway, my main gripe, is that our bags were left on the tarmac. In the rain. My bag on top. Everything is wet! My leather hiking shoes are soaking. Not impressed. A letter to follow!

I have a couple of pics from the plane congrats in to Noumea. The evening view from outside our room. I have some gorgeous sunset pics, will post from camera, later!Read more
