The sun was out and it appeared we would have a lovely day.Paul and Ardys rented a car and did a full scale exploration of the island.Connie and Anne attempted to break some record by circumnavigating the island by bus 3 times in one day. Two clockwise and one anti-clockwise. They were picked up early (island time) by Roratours for the Captain Tama Lagoon Cruise and rode anti-clockwise to pick up all the other passengers at their hotels on the way to MuriBeach. The cruise started out with snorkeling in the beautiful protected marine reserve. The glass bottomed boat took them to Koromiri Motu (a small island) where the crew cooked a delicious meal of fish, fruit and vegetables. They then gave a demonstration of coconut tree climbing and coconut opening. The difference between the water in the coconut and the cream and milk were explained. The crew with the help of passengers did a demonstration of wearing the Pareu.We were tired during the clockwise trip to return all the other tourists to their hotels.Anne and Connie took another trip around the island to the “Whatever Bar and Grill.” They thoroughly enjoyed Engia Pate and her band as they sang native songs.
