lagoon is glass only disturbed by the frenzied explosion of bait fish as the predators attack from below. At times, the fish fleeing to the surface appears as a silver wave moving across the lagoon.
We slept in a bit this morning and had a pleasant walked along the beach to breakfast. If you look closely, you can see a rainbow.
Breakfast here is decadent. Suffice it to say, we don't miss breakfast (of course they serve from 9:00 to whenever you want so we have yet to hurry).
We intended to snorkel this morning but, at the last minute, elected to snorkel from our beach rather than take the boat around the north point. Fantastic.
Within 50 yards of our porch we were in a different world. Paula found a giant clam and we saw more beautiful fish than can be described including a shy, black and white sea snake working his way through the short sea grass in the sand near the dock.
After snorkeling and Paula's foot massage, we were off to Honeymoon Beach for another picnic. We learned our lesson from our previous picnic. We ordered much less food but still had a table full.
Honeymoon is my favorite beach, so far. The beach is accessed by steps cut into a volcanic cliff with the hut tucked against the base of the cliff.
The cuspate beach is only 50 yards wide, trapped between two lava flows.
The water is crystal clear and provided good snorkeling and, our new favorite past time, floating.
If you look in the lower left corner of the picture above you can see Paula's foot under water.
Or if you prefer seeing both feet and the rest of her.....
After our trek back across the island we decided to rest in the lagoon.
A nice float and it was time to shower and dress for a cocktails and a fashion show put on by the staff. Like most events on the island, it ended up with everyone dancing in the sand.
Paula and I called it a night early. We had to get up at 5:30 the next morning.
