The airport departure lounge. We had one moment of panic at passport control and feared that Sophie had lost her passport. It turned up after a few minutes frantic searching in Mrs Frith's pocket!
Getting on the bus at Noumea, Tontuta. The 45min journey into downtown Noumea took us from farmland bordered by mountains rising into the clouds, through new housing developments, past an enormous nickel mine and shanty dwellings into the harbour and tourist areas.

Happy to be here and looking forward to a busy day exploring in the morning.
Our students were fantastic ambassadors for Northcross.
