Easo

Easo was a little beach, and we needed another tender. We went over there. It was a cool day, but my roommate and I decided to go in the water and I can't believe I am saying this, but the water was nice and warm. But I did not stay in there for a long time because of the waves, and I got water in my mouth, and it was salty. Then we went back to the ship and we had lunch, and then we went to the gym and rode the bikes for an hour and a half. Woohoo! I can't believe people live on that island, but for me, all these little towns that we went to are not wheelchair-friendly, but I made it work.

Noumea

Noumea was a city that we had to take a bus to, but when we tried to get on the bus, the driver said, “You wait for an accessible bus.” They didn’t speak English, so when we told them that I can walk a little bit with help, they told us that the other bus would be 5 minutes.

Waiting for an accessible bus

In the town where another ship docked, there was a big crowd there to go on an excursion and you can go in there and get Wi-Fi. So we went in there and got Wi-Fi, and then after that, we went walking around and we went into a store and there was everything there. And then we went out, we wanted to go to a beach, but we looked at a map, but we didn’t want to go too far and then get back, so there were two little Australian ladies who were on our cruise and they tried to ask people where you can go and buy souvenirs. So we decided to follow them and see what they took us to; it was a little mall, but with nothing there at all. So we went back to the ship, and hung out at the pool.
