The 8th was a public holiday so we took Nana and Granddad for a boat ride to Sand Island and the ancient ruins of Nan Madol. The tide was a little low when we left making it impossible to get into Sand Island and then the ruins straight away so we stopped at a little island for some lunch and a quick snorkel on the way.
You'll have to excuse the broken branch in the foreground. It was a little difficult to find a suitable spot to use the 'time lapse' photo option.
Jaxon never keeps still for long so after a quick feed it was off to do some exploring.
We all enjoyed a quick snorkel then it was back into the boat and off to Sand Island.
Like I said the tide has to be high enough to get into Sand Island. Jaxon was making sure we didn't collect the reef on the way through.
Jaxon is finally wearing a mask comfortably in the pool so it was time to try him out in the ocean. He loves it, not quite there with the snorkel but he loves seeing all the fish and coral.
Sand Island. There isn't any sand on the main island on Pohnpei so it was nice to sit and relax on the beach. Nic and Chris made sure there was heaps to drink and eat.
It was one great big sand pit to Indi.
After Sand Island it was off to Nan Madol. What should be world heritage listed currently only costs $3 and 50cents for the kids. These young girls are related to the local village chief who has the right to charge the entry fee.
We've been here once before but it was just as impressive the second time around.
Some of the gaps in the walls are the perfect height for Indi and Jaxon.
Luckily Nic has been going to the gym and has remained flexible.
What can I say here that won't get me into trouble.................
Solitary Confinement. I'm sure this where Peter and Chris wanted me to be after all my joking around.
Not a bad family portrait. Bloody kids never sit still do they.
