Random Pic’s from the Last Few Days – On the Road with Don and Paula

Once again, I heard little screams coming from the photos that did not make the initial “cut” for inclusion in one of the Posts. In order not to have them all rebel and threaten to send my computer into the “Blue Screen of Death” mode, here they are for your viewing pleasure. Do not be surprised if when you opened this post you heard little cheers erupting from your speakers. They are very proud of themselves now. They would appreciate a small round of applause when their show is over.

This is the meal that we were served on our Idyllic Island. Please note the logoed plates, we were soooo impressed with this outfit!

Out in front of the Horizon Court eatery there are these sinks, installed post-covid. It is a nice touch, and most folks seem to use them before entering.

Our ‘Suitable for Framing’ Certificates. King Neptune NEVER signs…… he would ruin them as he is wet and squishy.

We sent a note to Daniele, the head of the Dining Room about the Hostess, Nancy. She greets everyone and organizes their seating for the evening. In it we basically said that if the Chatterbox were still around, we would steal her from *Princess* and hire her! We are also sending copious notes on anything that we can think of just to get these little morsels in return!

Down inside the Caldera from the other day. You can see the rim of the crater reaching across the photo, way in the background. Also, note the waterfall, just to the left of the Big Trees.

This is part of the road that we were on in the Crater. We needed to cross this river…. note the Yellow and Red painted areas on the concrete. If the water level is one of those areas, you should probably heed their warning. PS….. this was the smoothest part of the road on this journey!

I forget if I have used this one before but how bad can it be seeing a Sunset and Tropical Islands once again! *Tahiti* on the left, *Moorea* in the distance 🙂

This was one of the head guys on the Island. The other one is his friend, Sting, who retired from a singing career and is now in Tahiti.

This is one of those ‘Huts over the Water’ places, but it did not make it through Covid. It is for sale, approximately $20,000,000 USD. But I am sure that they are willing to deal at this point. Hmmm….. The *Chatterbox Resort*?

We studied the laminated placards that were available at the Island for identifying the various species of critters that inhabit these waters. Some nice photos with identifying descriptions are found below.
