We had planned to stay one night at this island before leaving for Australia, but because the weather was not conducive for crossing, we were happy to spend some time at this delightful island.

This is the capitol of New Caledonia and a beautiful French city.

This was one of the loveliest islands we have visited.

We arrived from Vanuatu at this remote island in the Loyalty Islands. The waters of the lagoon were aqua blue almost everywhere with whote powdered sugar sand on the beaches.

Dream Caper Haulout, Port Vila Produce Market, and Apartment View

This is Dream Caper all cleaned up and pretty.

We stopped for one day and 2 nights at this resort which is at the SW end of Viti Levu Island, Fiji before leaving for Vanuatu.

We cruised from Port Denarau on Venua Levu Island to the Mamanuca Islands and then north to the Yasawa Group Islands.

The whale watching tour was fabulous! We swam within 20' for these huge docile creatures. The mother whale with her calf stood still enough for us watch them for several minutes.

Underwater shots and funky La Paella Restaurnat

Beautiful Tonga! Lovely islands, friendly locals, no big hotels and lots of pigs.

It was a rough 2 days.

We cruised to a number of anchorages on this beautiful island
