Day 10 - Mare, New Caledonia

We got up early and had breakfast with the aim of being in the first group to Mare. We arrived at the Marquis restaurant at 8am and left via tender for Mare soon after. We visited Mare in 2012 and it had changed so much in the short time. They had fixed the docking area up, there was now a decked area, paved foot path and he roads looked like they had been redone.
 
We caught a shuttle bus to Yetele Beach which took about 20 minutes. We had been to this beach before and they had added toilets. I remember in 2012 the toilets available being worse than the worse bush camping toilet I'd been to camping in Australia. We swam for a couple of hours in the beautiful sea water, it had started raining so we returned to the ship for lunch.
 
After lunch the Dwarfs went to kids club while I and R returned to look around. Unfortunately the rain had well and truly set in, however we tried to look around during the short breaks. We walked up the paved area towards the supermarket which had since shut, the church and the pharmacy. We turned around where the paving ended and had a drink at the café before looking in the market stalls set up near the dock.
