Strawberry Coral

We were up and out early this morning. Laite, our bure mamma asked us to attend their morning meeting so we could meet everyone on the island. Paula and I went for a short walk along the beach then met Laite at about 7:45 am. We were introduced to everyone and told them something about ourselves. The owner of the island was present and we had a short but very nice visit. After breakfast, a group of us headed to Farthing reef to see the strawberry coral.



The coral and sea life were incredible. We saw many fish, octopus, giant clams and had a blast.


We returned in time for lunch and planned to a nap on they beach in front of our bure. Several other couples had the same idea so instead of napping we all ended up floating in the lagoon for hours. Evidently the staff noticed our flotilla and waded out with mojitos for all. Our best day yet. We drug ourselves onto the beach just before 5:00 to dress for cocktails and dinner on the mountain top. Goodness, what a climb but we had a spectacular view and another amazing meal. We trekked down the mountain for dessert and apertifs and decided to call it a night. The walk along the beach back to our bure revealed more stars than we've ever seen.
