Notre journée à l’île Amédée

Our fun-filled final day started early, when all the girls were dropped off with their luggage, back to the hotel, signifying the end of their Host family stay. We hopped on our coach to take us to Port Moselle, where the Mary D cruise boat was waiting to take us to l’île Amédée. The trip included a trip in the glass-bottomed boat, visiting the lighthouse, a sumptuous buffet lunch followed by Polynesian dancing and singing. In the afternoon, the group relaxed on the beach. Finalement!!!!

Madame Weberruss' final instructions!

A view of our cruise boat from the lighthouse. Note the
crystal clear water of the lagoon.

Happy campers on the glass-bottomed boat!

Relief after climbing the 247 steps of the lighthouse, with the wind in our hair.

as we climb up the lighthouse.

Our talented boat crew was also the band on the day.

Drinks anyone??

Eagerly awaiting our delicious and bountiful lunch, we enjoyed
a refreshing drink served by one of the Polynesian dancers. 

Just a sample of the culinary delights we enjoyed!!!!!

 L'Aquarium des Lagons

We bid a sad farewell to CREIPAC language school today after the girls finished their last morning of French classes. Then we headed to Anse Vata by public transport for lunch and a visit to Noumea's Aquarium des Lagons.

The girls enjoy the view on Anse Vata beach before walking to
l'Aquarium des Lagons.

Our guide, Jeremy, meets the group in the entrance to the Aquarium.
