Visited a #vanilla plantation to learn all things vanilla; planting, growing, harvesting, drying, etc. Rather than bore you with those details, I’ll just tell you an interesting fact: The grade A vanilla beans here are used in the Coco Chanel no 5 perfume. The more you know 🌈 . . . #lifou #NewCaledonia #loyaltyisland #southpacific #travel #adventure #explore

Current status: all the words you could possibly associate with happy. It takes a while to get to this place for this view, a trek through a bit of jungle and a boat ride for a bit, a hop and a skip and a dip and then voila, heaven. The last time we were on this island was in 2013. The only thing that changed in ten years is my view of the world and that I got to show our children a beach where we used to play. The place, still as beautiful as ever. #lifou #southpacific #loyaltyislands #newcaledonia
