Ile des Pins: Grey in June
Photo by James D. Harris, 2007.One cannot live in New Caledonia and not visit Ile des Pins (Isle of Pines) regularly. It is a heavenly place - far from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
Characterised by blue skies, towering pines and silky white sand, a visit there returns one - or helps one find one's - home, dream, paradise.
At the end of June, we returned to Ile des Pins to show it to my father and stepsister. Laurent, Sophie and I had been there for the first time in December, 2005. We returned again in October, 2006 with our friend Sheila. This June trip was grey - but still beautiful. We were there during one of Noumea's greatest storms, safe from flying chairs.
Livia and Jim got to go diving, Pablo played in the water, and Laurent and I drank in our last time at Ile des Pins.

Quand nous y étions pour le 1er janvier, c'était tout aussi gris et même pluvieux mais nous avions le soleil qui venait illuminer ce petit paradis.
En espérant que tes prochaines aventures soient toutes aussi belles, nous vous souhaitons à tous une bonne continuité !
Et moi qui commençais à prendre plaisir en découvrant ton blog en anglais ! Mince alors ! Bon allez on vous souhaite bon voyage ! Et reviens vite sur le web !
De toutes les façons je continuerai à avoir de vos nouvelles par Tonton Marco notre oiseau des iles !!!
Best wishes and have fun

Ah - you really were not lucky on the 1st of January. It rained straight for 10 days, I remember. Normally it is so beautiful here at that time of year.
Merci beaucoup pour tes gentilles mots. Ils m'encourageant de continuer de blogger ... de Paris.
All the best to you!
Julie
