2 weeks adventure in New Caledonia!!

Dear all,

After a few hectic weeks in Myanmar, we are enjoying 16 days in New Caledonia where it is truly a paradise underwater. Sharks, turtles, rays, moray eels, dolphins  etc. I wanted to swim with sharks and this mission is completed even if we still have 4 days to enjoy and probably do some scuba diving before we will head to New Zealand. We enjoyed the Pines island where we shared a few evening with the local tribe. If the local people seem a bit cold at first, after a few minutes, you will get a big smile and warm welcome. Tribes are everywhere (don't imagine traditional tribes...they are like families owning fields, beaches etc.). Anywhere you go, a beach for example or anything you pick from a tree, like a colourful and juicy mango, it is better to ask to the local tribe which probably own the area. We then discovered  the West and North coast of the island where we have been riding horses, deep sea fishing, snorkelling with sharks...etc. I am currently uploading a few pics and producing some short videos that will be available shortly. Big thank you to Gaelle & Jerome, our local hosts! Feel free to check out a few pics under New Caledonia, Foodies and Portraits.
