Another recommended point is a windsurfing tour.

Many surfers gather on days when strong winds blow.Red, white, blue, yellow and surfing flowers are in bloom.

Macho Noumea are crazy about surfing today.

It is a remnant from that time that many Japanese people moved to New Caledonia to mine nickel before the war　

Second visit. Two of us who are not interested in shopping at all.

Show the stub of yesterday's ticket and negotiate with a smile and free admission.

"Thank you! It's free!"

It was a great success to shoot the highlight points that I knew without permission.
Now I can talk about my grandchildren's souvenirs.

Napoleon fish on coral reefs Kotetsu frolics like a child on rare white rays.
No matter how many hours you look at the aquarium, you will never get tired of it.

"Numea Aquarium" in front of the hotel
(admission fee 1000 francs 1400 yen).

Even though I casually looked into it, I was surprised to say,
"Wow, this is amazing."
I didn't know that the world-famous Nautilus (Ohm shell)
was swimming.

I've seen fossil ammonites, but for a while
I was nailed to seeing them swimming in a round aquarium.

I stayed there for quite a long time,
but I didn't bring the essential camera,
so I decided to come back tomorrow.

Prepared at Anse Bata (Grande Terre Island) before moving to a remote Island.

The Marche (market) in Noumea city covers the Islanders kitchens.

It is cheaper and better than a large supermarket.
Fresh fish, meat and vegetables are on sale.

Especially in the morning, the landed shrimp is sweet and delicious.

Everyday shopping became my daily routine and I enjoyed the 30-minute journey as a walk.
Because of the long trip, I always take a taxi on my way home considering the exhaustion of my physical strength. (Aging phenomenon?)

Is most of the mined nickel is exported to Japan, but the destruction of nature has progressed and further development is controversial.
