I guess some-one has a duty to patronise paradise and 'paradise' is a good description for Île des Pins (Isle of Pines). A tranquil place of turquoise bays, white- sand beaches and tropical vegetation. We are staying at Hôtel Oure. which is situated on the Baie de Kanuméra. This is a picture post card place with its own very beautiful waters fringed with white sand beaches sheltered from sea breezes by pine-covered islands.
Today it is raining but it is gentle soothing rain befitting such a paradise location. Unfortunately, the wet weather is forecast to hang-around for a few days and with associated low cloud it has the potential to interrupt our scheduled departure tomorrow for Tanna Island in Vanuatu. The weather pattern results from a very large high pressure system (1040mb) positioned over the Tasman Sea. Ironically the system is delivering wonderful clear skies back home but at our latitudes the anti-clockwise wind circulating this huge pressure system is busy conveying moist air onto the Coral Sea islands. Forecasts indicate we could be stuck in Paradise until Thursday…!
