We went to Veronique's at 11am for our lunch. We had some of the red snapper her husband had caught yesterday. He showed us his biggest caught at 350 metres!
He is a mad keen fisherman and also a great cook. Our lunch consisted of salmon tart for the first course, then the red snapper and herbed potatoes for the second. Third course was salad and a range of beautiful cheeses with baguette and warm seeded bread from the oven and the fourth was the most amazing praline basket of chocolate mousse-filled chouquettes! They are like soft profiteroles. Lastly was swiss chocolate!

We were greatly in need of some exercise after that eating marathon, so had a big walk through the Parc Forestier which was great. They have a range of native birds in aviaries there so Paul was able to see the symbol of New Caledonia, the Cagou, a flightless bird about the size of a kiwi.
We are back to school tomorrow and looking forward to seeing the kids again to see how their weekend went and to give them all the messages left by you.
Au revoir until tomorrow!
lucky kids, looks nice!
