Going back…..

 

 

Wall art of 2017

 

A tender loading now

 

But we missed it

 

Steep grated steps down to the water line

 

Good close-up view of the caves

 

If the sun had been out, the colors would have been better

 

Here comes our ride

 

A few passengers coming to shore

 

The team helping folks board

 

Ready to go

 

Pulling alongside the ship

 

Helpful team on the platform

 

Sailaway

 

The village as seen from the ship

 

Coastline dotted with caves

 

Hiding place for many sea critters

 

The last tender will leave at 4:30pm

 

Center of the village

 

Homes in the jungle

 

Boats come back one by one

 

Sometimes this port is cancelled due to deep swells

 

Caves

 

Cliffs

 

No access

 

No beach

 

Tide was coming in

 

Still warm and humid at 5pm

 

Commercial Center

 

Can barely see the roofs

 

Tepa Point on the southwest coast

 

Waves

 

All sharp reef area

 

Can’t swim here

 

Probably a resort

 

Upthrust coral formation

 

One and only tower we saw

 

Makapu Point

 

Remote part of the island

 

A few birds flying

 

White terns

 

High cliffs

 

Waves eroding the shore

 

Bird watching

 

Only saw a few terns

 

Too fast to film

 

Birds fishing

 

Cliff house

 

Hard to see the road

 

A peaceful place

 

Or a lonely place

 

A little of both
