It was a one hour rocky speed boat ride to our destination but so worth it.
We saw a real atoll (a ring-shaped reef, island, or chain of islands formed of coral) and the beauty cannot be described. Learned that the Indo-Australian plate and the Pacific Plate are crashing into each other and in some places lifting the earth up. Our stop today showed coral that used to be in the water and is now a wall. Incredible scene!
The snorkeling today was wonderful and we saw so many colorful fish. After our picnic, our guide asked if we would like to make a basket and I said I would. He was a patient guy and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Meanwhile, the other guide made hats for all of us out of the palms.
Back on the ship we got ready for the evening festivities. Bob and Sandra celebrated their 45th anniversary and we started out with sparkling wine in the lounge and moved on to dinner in the Polo restaurant where we feasted on steak and lobster.
We had a great time and retired to our room to move our clocks
1/2 hour ahead.????
