MS Noordam anchored offshore
I have absolutely no idea what kind of flower this is, but I was captivated by its delicate beauty.
The Easo tribe built this school, but the other tribe on the island busses in their kids.
The waters along the coast of this South Pacific island are crystal clear.
the marketplace was a popular place with the tourists!
It turns out that on Lifou, you can get some very good deals!
Market at Lifou
There were so many Lifou sights to enjoy. Of course, the people were friendly and the setting was pristine. The weather is typical South Pacific—warm and humid (exactly the way I like it!). We only had a day to enjoy these Lifou sights, but it was a delightful one.
We were warned by our tour guide that when we got to the commercial district we should be careful about who we spoke to or did business with. Apparently, with the tour boats come the scammers. Why would things be any different there than here, right? Of course, that could have also been a way for the tour company to funnel business into the very commercial store where we parked.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Lifou, despite the warnings, and I’d love to go back if we had more time to just hang out. That, however, will have to come in a whole different year!
