Matamanoa Day 2


This place is still amazing J 

Got up and had breakfast at 9.30. Not as amazing a breakfast that you would get at a 5 star on the mainland somewhere, but considering that it’s an island in the middle of nowhere with limited resources, it was good enough. 

After that we lazed in our room for a while, watching season 5 of Big Bang Theory and just relaxing. The Bure is really nice, and the view is wonderful. Today it’s not raining, so it’s all sun outside the windows.







The plan for today was to go on the handline fishing at 2, but when we got to booking it, the last 2 seats were taken by some people who got there just 1 minute ahead of us! What’s the likelihood of that on an island with no more than 30 people! Anyway, instead, we went for some more Big Bang, and I dozed off for a couple of hours J

Instead of the fishing, we booked a Sunset cruise for the evening, thinking that it would be something like the one we took at Hamilton Island, with 20 other people. Instead it turned out to be just US, and the 2 guys handling the boat. It was a really beautiful way of getting to see the island, and Victoria got some local information out of the guys. It turns out they live on a neighbouring island, and return there every evening.















When we got back from the boat, it was time for dinner, and then … some more Big Bang J
