It is difficult mustering up the energy to leave such a heavenly spot on earth. We dinghied over to Omoa yesterday, and, although the entrance was quite treacherous with a big swell coming in, once we landed and secured Worm, we had a wonderful morning. It is a fantastic little village, a bit more pristine and manicured, nestled in another beautiful valley. We found the bakery with the last of the baguettes for sale, wandered up the valley for a while, then came back to the store and bakery for a bit of papaya, fresh french bread, jam, and instant coffee. Flowers adorn every yard and all women wear them in their hair to celebrate the day.
After returning to Hanavave Bay, we snorkeled with Robert and Kelita and found a wonder world of different coral and tropical fish. What a luxury to be able to just leave from the boat and find such abundance. We are told this is the prettiest of all [the islands] and so, we decided to stay one more day to fully appreciate the Marquesas. We are planning on checking into French Polynesia in Atuona, Hiva Oa, on Friday morning.
