Today was at Noumea

For your information / reference, Noumea is pretty much closed Christmas Day.  Any tours that people try to organise and advertise “Christmas Day At Noumea” are a crock!

• Curtains open for night again.  Woke up just after 5.  Dozed for a while, and watched boat arrive and dock.
• Mum and Dad’s room for 7.30 for kids presents, and then off to family breakfast in Waterfront.
• Back to Mum and Dad’s for adults presents and champagne.
• Went to mainland (no tender!).  No David or Izzy.  Caught “Hop on Hop off” bus.  Went to market for 20 minute walk around.  Then further up to the beach, and had a drink.
• Caught bus back to port.  Shopping upstairs – bought a tomohawk.
• Family lunch.
• Kaoru at day spa.  I had a chat with Edge people, and a beer or two.
• Family dinner at 5.00.  Then off to see Ventriquilist @ 7.00 in Marquee, and Xmas “Name that Tune” at 8.  We were pretty tired so had a tea on the balcony, and called it a night.
