🛳️ Cruise Diary — Sydney to New Caledonia! 🇳🇨✨

Just arrived from Sydney for a 3-day island hop: Nouméa → Lifou Island → Nouméa → Back to Sydney! 🌴 Day 1: Nouméa Joined a small tour (booked on the ship!): 🐠 Aquarium visit (so many marine creatures!) ⛰️ Scenic mountain stop (breathtaking bay views!) ⏳ *3-hour tour with lively guide commentary* 💙 Fell in love with the coastline! 🏝️ Day 2: Lifou Island A serene paradise with crystal-clear water 💎 🛥️ Tender boats (10 mins to shore) 🤿 Snorkeling at Luecila Beach (hidden gem! Few tourists—just us + fish!) 🚣 Kayaking... then capsizing! 😂 (Thank god for life jackets!) 🌆 Day 3: Nouméa City Walk Shuttle bus to downtown (free!): 🛍️ Boutiques, handicraft stalls & vibrant parks 🍺 Tried local beer by the sea (perfect chill spot!) 🎄 Ended the trip just in time for CHRISTMAS on the ship!
