Letters from the South Pacific • July 29, 2021
Thursday was a sun/relax day for us. Early morning we had a light rain that moved over the island shortly after the sun came up, leaving sunny skies and a calm sea. We enjoyed coffee on our lanai before walking over to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.
After breakfast, we hit the beach, careful to apply lots of sunscreen (at least I did. Stephen never needs it), and faded into the comfort of warm ocean breezes.
Later, we explored the lagoon, walked the beach enjoyed the view from our lanai. 
We also took a short cab ride into town where we souvenir shopped and hit the grocery for some essentials. Luck was ours when we saw a local bakery truck unloading fresh baguettes. The locals, who clearly knew the schedule, were waiting for the bread to be unloaded. We waited along with them and brought one home (along with cheese) and wine for me. We finished the day at the hotel restaurant before calling it a night.
