This is an interesting island, as Robin said - I hardly have the archaeological expertise to be of any use exploring the ruins in the mountains, but the culture and history is fascinating nonetheless.
Part of the island is rather a tourist trap, but aside from exorbitantly-priced merchandise following a general native stereotype theme, there are a number of museums, some of which are...strange, to say the least. One with fossils that was impressive, another about island history, and then...one that seems to consist entirely of some rich benefactor's collection of yarn. I'm ashamed to say I spent half an hour there just trying to figure out the labeling system.
Anyway, it's a good place for a stopover, but I'd rather have the rest of our crew back. At least they're all reportedly safe.
Incidentally, as I've lagged behind in keeping track - where is everyone right now? Are there any other crews currently docked at islands?
checking in,
straw hats,
no one make a joke about cats and yarn,
tourists will buy anything
