The ship retained its position over lunch – and in the afternoon there was another opportunity for a shore landing. This time at the small island of Nuratu, less than 500m off the coast of Kitava.

The stop here was a pure beach stop – with the island – once more – fitting into that small and uninhabited island with a palm-fringed beach category. So – after the cultural performance and village exploration in the morning – it was now time for some swimming, snorkeling (not as spectacular as during the previous beach stop – but still not bad), relaxing – and a walk around the island.
