Wednesday night Farewell Dinner w/ Tom & Stephan
Wednesday was a gorgeous day in Hamburg and Tom remembered a perfect little gem of a vegan / vegetarian restaurant in a charming area of Eimsbuttel that I had yet to see, Thai Village. Stephan joined us after work, and we sat outside and had a delicious meal. What a great way to round off a lovely visit with Tom and first time meeting Stephan! Two very special gentlemen in my life! I hope to see them again soon, and this time sailing on the Odyssey! Thanks again for your hospitality and giving me a place to land!

Since Janette Emerich is generous enough to share her drone photos with all of us on board the Ship, I have to share them with you all. This beauty is why I said we felt like we were in a screen saver the whole day in Rangiroa! I love the height perspective in the photos it really captures so much more. Blue Lagoon below:
The water in Rangiroa is so spectacular, I wanted to spend more time drift snorkeling and checking out the area called " The Aquarium ". So today I went back out for a 3 hour session to do 3 drift passes in Tiputa pass and then spent an hour in an area with wonderful healthy corals and tons of fish, earning it the nickname " The Aquarium ".
Today felt like we were inside a Computer Screen Saver! You know how everybody has one of those amazing beach shots on their home screens ? I am guessing we were in the place where most of them are filmed! Rangiroa is the 2nd largest atoll in the world, and its lagoon feels like its own ocean, it's huge! It is famous worldwide for "drift" diving and snorkeling, due to its fast moving current, crystal clear water and excellent visibility. We joined a group of 44 Residents in an all day adventure.
