Pearl Farm Tour
This is the pearl farm. We had a short tour and found a few interesting facts about pearls. It takes about 3 1/2 years to cultivate a pearl. Very labor intensive! This is the only place in the world where the rainbow pearls come from. I did not know there were rainbow pearls.
The workers remove the bags of oysters and clean the shell so the oyster is free to open and close. The fellow in the back checks each of the cleaned oysters and puts them back into the cage and this process is repeated again and again until you have a pearl.
After our tour at the pearl farm, we found this charming little beach restaurant and had nice lunch and a pleasant walk on the beach.
