Sunday on Ana’a Atoll

First island on our route: Ana’a on Tuamotu Archipelago. Our ship is drifting in the sea and they are putting us into motorised barge to sail us to the small island. Locals greet us on the little concrete pier. Then we walk to the village Tukuhora, where most of the 600 inhabitants of the atoll lives. On the way I turn to the tidy catholic church, where Sunday service just goes. They are singing so beautifuly! On the shore of the beautiful, turquoise lagoon they prepared in the shade local meal for the lunch. I have a time to swim in the lagoon, take a walk to the end of the motu through the coconut grove or check the souvenirs made of shells by the local ladies – great, sunny day!
