Noumea, New Caledonia 9th December 2015

We were right on time, 3pm, for our arrival in Noumea. Coming into the harbour, the Carnival Legend was docked at the industrial wharf, where we docked at the cruise terminal. We were greeted by an indigenous dancing and singing group.

Departing the terminal we walked down to the World War II museum, about 5-10 minutes. It wasn't easy to find and we nearly walked straight past it. It only cost us 200 francs each, with no charge for my son. We spent about an hour there which was perfect as they closed at 5pm.

From there we walked down past the Institute Pasteur and the hospital.

And finally to the central park area where the tourist information centre had a free wifi.
