      Noumea, New Caledonia

      January 27 in New Caledonia ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

      This is our second time in Noumea. First time in 2017 we went to Amédée Island.

      Amedee Island is a tiny coral atoll located just 30-40 minutes from Noumea where we spent a day swimming, snorkelling and eating.

      For today we booked a tour to visit aquarium and then to have some free time to explore.

      Our first stop was overlook point on the top of the hill. We spent 10 min taking pictures and admiring the scenery.
      The second stop was the aquarium. It is small but well designed and maintained.

      We still had 2.5 hour before the bus back to the port, so we went on the beach. We had a nice swim and a pleasant time on the beach. Only later we discovered that we went to a wrong beach. The waters there were without a net to protect us from sharks and venomous jellyfish. Likely we did not see any.

      We then walked to a restaurant for lunch and then rushed back to the bus.

      After returning to the port, we went to a supermarket to get chocolate and then stopped for some pastries and a good coffee.

      We were so full, we skipped dinner. Only some fruits in the evening.

      Tomorrow is a sea day.
