Sail away soon…..
What a difference the better camera makes
Crystal clear photos
One of many high peaks
View from deck nine
Waves break on the reef
Almost too hot to be outside
Believe us, there is a stabilizer under there
Waiting for the party
Everyone was onboard
Only the shoreline is buildable
Peaks are 500 – 600 meters
Surrounding reef
Buried in a jungle of trees
There is the Tamarind Restaurant
Hard to see from the ship
Last boat back
Sheltered harbor
There is something on that peak
White and reflecting the sun
A breakwater
Verdant green
Small stretches of sandy beach
That’s smoke
Entrance to Avarua
The Needle – 1355 feet high
Other peaks even higher
All visible by a plane flight over the island
A sea bird
Bringing home a fish
The Needle
The road around the island is 20 miles
Too far to walk
Vulnerable to storms
Sandy beach
Green side of the island
Another plane landing
Coming down
Airport was close to town
Quiet now until dark
The coastline on the west side
Better view of the island
A tropicbird
It was really far away
The island disappears soon
Meatballs – tropical-style
Around the west side
Away we go
Hot appetizers anyone?
Lucky we made it today
Heading into the clouds
Pool was empty
Heading towards another NZ holding - Niue
Rain showers on the horizon
The party is over
