Ile de Pins

My last port day was today, and after our Halloween party last night, it took a huge effort to get out of bed and make it to the island early enough. It was awesome, and I am so glad that I did! The weather was beautiful and I snorkeled around the whole sacred rock “Kanemura”! There were plenty of fish, and I borrowed an underwater camera from the ship, so I was able to get cool photos! I saw a sea snake slithering on the sand, which was a little frightening, as they are poisonous and very prominent on Ile de Pins. The island is a French islet discovered by Captain Cook in 1774 and is called “Kunie” by the local Melanesians! Later we strolled around and I enjoyed my whole coconut that a native chopped for me with his machete so I could drink from it! Yummy! It was a perfect day to end with! Only 2 more sea days until Sydney! Hooray!
