There's no proper dock so we had to anchor and use tenders. Celebrity are very well organised and the tendering worked smoothly.
We wanted to have a swim if possible and also to walk up to the Chapelle de Notre Dame de Lourdes. Would it be a climb too far, we wondered?

There's only one problem with taking selfies on my phone - you can't zoom in and out and you can't use a flash. Otherwise it's perfect!

 |
| The path up was steep but lots of cruise passengers were happy to make the climb |

| Pity about the missing S at the end of Lourdes! |
 |
| We were keen to have a go at snorkelling at this beach, but there was no beach as such and they were charging Aus $15 (£8 each) to go into the water |
 |
| We each went for a swim, although it was hard to swim as it was so shallow and then got shallower as you went further out as there was a sand bar there |
 |
| I then went in for a swim but it was shallow. I spoke to a couple from Australia but our conversation was cut short when a sea snake bit the wife. I beat a dignified but fairly hasty retreat!! |
