L'île des Pins : Kunié (Isle of pines)

2007.04.22

2- Pyrostegia, Flame vine

3- Strelitzia, OIseau de paradis, bird of paradise



6- Here is one of the pine trees :)

7- No sea when we got there...

8- Oro&#39s bay

9- He climbed to get coconuts for us


11- Great shower !

12- when we left the sea had covered the place



15- on our way back to the airport

This time I saw pine trees ! :)
Those pines "colonaires" are Araucaria columnarist who can be very high, up to 60m !
The island is at 80km from the south of Nouméa, a little paradise !
Could not believe they had built a prison there around 1872 for exile politicians of Paris. Closed in 1911.
People can visit a natural aquarium with multiple fishes and corals, but I did not know how to get there and time was short.... so I only have a few sightseeing for you....

For those who want to learn about the architecture of the centre (post of yesterday)

This post will end for the moment my trip to Kanaki (Nouvelle Calédonie)

LisetteT Encore un magnifique voyage virtuel servi à ta façon.
La douche me fait sourire, j'aime. L'embarcation sur la 12 semble être déposée sur une glace. Great set.

photopoet This is one of my favorite sets! The colours are so vivid; the captures so evocative and the sense of setting so concrete. Absolutely beautiful.
