Giant Clams
Apparently they taste like rubber, but they attract the tourists.

Coral
The locals are trying to encourage more coral - we saw little ones in underwater gardens

LV having a sit down
Many parts of the lagoon are very shallow!

Snorkelling TC
We chose this lagoon trip because it had the reputation of including the most snorkelling. Nearly enough to satisfy TC.

TC's Bouillabaise
Despite having already had this a couple of nights ago, it was completely different tonight, but equally delicious.
