| A mental picture one has of a perfect Athol with a surrounding Reef ,with an amazing lagoon for swimming and snorkelling. |
 |
| The colours here of the lagoon within the reef are absolutely breathtaking. This is known as a" MAKATEA" a reef of fossilised coral surrounding this island and most amazingly turquoise colored blue lagoon.. |
HAPPY NEW YEAR. The first of January 2015.. and look what I see the first thing in the morning of the first day of New Year!.....WOW!!!. Outside my cabin balcony is the most amazing looking Atthol surrounded by the white breakers on the amazing circular Reef..OH !!! This is Known locally as a "Makatea" being a reef of fossilised coral surrounding this island.
Look at the colour of the Lagoon within the reef.!! The most wonderful blue..This is Mystery Island The second stop on our journey..This is truly the pictures that you see in the glossy travel brochures..and always doubt their authenticity. The Island can only be reached by tender from the ship, as we must anchor quite a way out.. This is very popular with divers and snorkelers as the fish and turtles are in abundance here..also the Island has a magnificent golden sanded beach. This is definately a scene out of James A Micheners "Aventures in Paradise" or "Tales of the South Pacific" marvellous..
