Staff preparing delicacies

                                                                             Voila!

                                                            Amazing little pieces of art!

View over Noumea with St Joseph's Cathedral in the foreground - built by the convicts.


This is the site where the Guillotine stood in the 1800s - bought out from France to deal with the baddies!

Examples of early settler houses


 These little cars are fairly common here now. They are for Learner drivers and only have two seats. They have small scooter motors in them and can only do 60km at the most. We were told they are made of plastic but that must be a translation error!



                        A cannon was mounted here during the war but was never actually needed.

 Baz had a birthday and was presented with a big birthday cake at our dinner at Madame Lisnic's house.
