Tropical wilderness, gorgeous and lush with wonderful birdsong and swathes of soft coral abounding with life wherever we snorkel.
We're hoping to head north up this undeveloped east coast to another amazing reef area called Poindimie.
But now our mission has to be to find a town with internet as a ceiling in our London flat landed on our tenants bed - luckily she wasn't in it -
and we have to sort this out - all a bit surreal in these surroundings.

[password] zara1010 [status] :position 20 55.428s 167 05.015e WOW! We've just had the most amazing experience this morning when we swam with a mother and calf humpback whale for the first time. The humpbacks come to the islands between Tonga & New Caledonia to give birth in the warm sheltered waters of the many islands, it's quite late in the season - but we were lucky, this morning we were told a whale was on the reef at the edge of the bay.
