The First Port - 2020年环球之旅的第一个停靠港口
Day 10
Today is Jan 30, the 10th day of this world cruise. At 7:00 AM, our ship arrived at Nuku Hiva, French Polynesia. Nuku Hiva is one of the Marguesas Islands. After eight sea days, everyone on board was excited to finally see land again. We went on a shore excursion with Crystal. Scenic Island Drive Excursion took us to the wood and stone Notre Dame cathedral, a small village, and the celebration festival ground. We also tasted the local fruits, which were very good. Mango, Coconut and YuZu are the local favorite. The tour took about 4 hours. The temperature was at high 70 F with high humidity. After the tour, we went back to the ship to have lunch then we were returned to the island again. This time we just walked along the coast line up to the hotel.
At 6:00 PM, we went to Umi Uma for dinner. The sushi bar was full, but they let us sit in the main dinning area without a reservation. The food was fantastic although there was too much. We also talked to the host and the Japanese Chef to order Mochi and Ramen noodle for our next visit.
Tonight we will turn our watches and phones back 30 mins. This is the second time we need to adjust the time by 30 mins. Before this trip, we never knew you could adjust time zones by minutes.
