This is a continuation of the New Caledonia travelogue, in which we were finally able to leave after a full day of flight delays.<\/p>\n

What was so chilling about the one-day delay was that I had actually arranged a ticket to a remote island the next day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next morning, we were scheduled to leave for Ile des Pins, our first destination, by ferry at 7:00 a.m. So, when we arrived at the hotel, we tried to book a cab transfer to the ferry terminal.................but the lady at the front desk looked a little reluctant, and we felt a little uneasy................... ...<\/p>\n

To my surprise, I heard that cabs in New Caledonia are not open 24 hours a day...!<\/p>\n

The terminal said to meet at 6:00, so I wanted to leave around 5:30,<\/p>\n

She said, \"I wonder if they will let me drive out at 6 o'clock just in time. I'll call her anyway, but I don't know if she'll be awake.\"<\/p>\n

I was thinking about walking, at worst, when I managed to get a phone call and was told that I could pick up my child!<\/p>\n

Well, it was good.<\/p>\n

Everyone, if you take a cab in New Caledonia, please be careful of the time!<\/p>\n

The next morning we managed to board the ferry for the two-hour trip to Ildepan.<\/p>\n

It was early in the morning, so I fell asleep halfway through and woke up to...<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The color of the sea!<\/p>\n

Noumea was beautiful, but the beauty of Ildepan left me speechless!<\/p>\n

If I were to compare it to a gemstone, it would be Paraiba Tourmaline. My sleep-deprived body woke up at once!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

up from the top of the ferry<\/p>\n

We stayed at the Hotel Kubny facing Kut Beach, about a 10-minute walk from the terminal.<\/p>\n

This is the area of the sandy beach seen on the other side of the river in the photo above.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Right in front of the hotel is a beautiful, calm, white beach, and the ultra-fine powder sand is sure to impress if you walk barefoot!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The bar is open to non-guests as well, and beer is available for about 1,000 yen, which is not so expensive compared to Tokyo.<\/p>\n

I liked this bar anyway and used it often during my stay.<\/p>\n

Breakfast is also available on the terrace, although it is hot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Behind the hotel is another beautiful beach, Kanumela Beach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After a short swim, you will come to a small island-like rock, around which there are many colorful fish that you have never seen before!<\/p>\n

If you are looking for snorkeling, this is the place to go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This clarity...you can see fish even at the edge of the waves.<\/p>\n

New Caledonia is said to have many creatures that live only there, and once you dive into the ocean, you are in an aquarium world.<\/p>\n

I will tell you more about its splendor in my next article on \"Piscine naturelle natural pools\"!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
