| Noumea, New Caledonia's capital/main city looks like any European harbour at first |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| But in the harbour water, life is quite different :) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| From "Anse Vata" you can rent a windsurf board ... |
|
|
| ... or use a taxi boat to reach "Ile aux Canards" (Ducks island) |
|
|
|
| A rock pool, close to Saraméa |
|
|
|
| Weather changes so quicly sometimes, that we get rainbows before it even starts to rain :) |
|
|
|
|
|
| Roche Percée (pierced rock) and its beach |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Le coeur de Voh (Heart of Voh) is a famous heart shaped mangrove |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Folded hills and mountains |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
| Forests are quite variable on the island ! |
|
|
|
|
|
| There are a lot of waterfalls too |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Hotel with swimming pool anyone ? |
|
|
|
|
|
| "La Poule" (Chicken island) |
|
|
| The Sphinx island |
|
|
|
|
|
| La Poule (from close). Now you understand the name ! |
|
|
|
| You can find all kinds of beaches around the island, white sand, black sand, soft stones, ... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Yes, we ARE camping, and we have a proof ! |
|
|
| This camping ground has a few advantages: toilets and showers (not working well though) |
|
|
| loads of palmtrees (but not too much, so you can put a tent or a car without fearing the numerous coconut falls) |
|
|
| It also has its own beach, and if you still hesitate, here is the best: it's free ! |
|
|
|
| Nickel mines are quite impressive |
