After my Grande Terre it was time to fly to one of the Loyality Islands. I had selected Ouvea as there was a dive shop on the island.
As you can see from the picture the location is a dream - when the weather is sunny. Unfortunately I got some rainy days - with nothing to do.... no diving, no tours - everything canceled. Luckily I had a few books with me and all in all I had a great stay anyway!
One day I hired a car with some fellow tourists staying on the island. Many thanks Ingrid for doing all the driving! It was rainy but we still got to see some great sights: the beach at St Joseph, the 'centre commerciale' also in St Joseph (which was a small epicerie with not much available to buy), the trou aux tortues, the cows standing under the coconut trees,....
I also got one day of diving: swimming around there is like swimming in an aquarium: beautiful corals and lots of colourful fish. And on the second dive we even got to see a big manta and black tipped sharks - plenty of them.
