Arrival
at
Noumea |
I planed to pay almost of all by credit card.
Though I tried to find a ATM since I wanted to withdraw a little XPF.
ATMs didn't work, I had no choice but to exchege from JPY to XPF.
I got on a shuttle bus bound for Nouvata I had booked in advance.
I really wanted to find a hotel in Noumea, but there was no affordable
hotel in Noumea. |
Ile Des
Pins |
Next morning, I headed to the Magenta airpor by taxi. About 30-minute flight
to Ile Des Pins. |
| I prefered with 12kg-luggage and additional charge 10kg for 2000XPF to
15kg-luggage. |
Diving
Package |
There was only one diving center in the island.
One Japanese lady in the dive center, so I could ask her by email in Japanese. |
| I selected three nights and two days diving package by the Hotel Kodjeue. |

It was cloudy on the day of arrival, so I just took some photos around
the hotel.
Next day two dives in the morning,
then taking photos at Kuto Bay and Kanumera Bay in the afternoon. |
| |
Third day two dives in the morning, then taking photos at the Piscine Naturelle
in the afternoon. |
Through these two days, it was cloudy.
So the sea and the beaches wasn't very beautiful due to the lack of sunshine. |

I requested the Pirogue tour at Upi Bay from the hotel on the last day
of the island.
But when I was taken by the mistress, she told me the tour was canceled
in a car. |
So I headed to Kuto Bay and Kanumera Bay again with sunshine.
There were many people there, as a cruise ship from Australia. |
| |
Kuto Bay and Kanumera Bay are close each other, so we can go back and
forth easily. |

|

I reserved the Hotel Beaurivage Noumea at Citrons Bay.
It was located within walking distance from Numea and Anse Vata. |
