FRIDAY 17th AUGUST 2012.
After five calm sea days from Hawaii through the Pacific Ocean we
reached the island of Tahiti and Papeete the capital of French Polynesia. It
was a clear sunny day of about 27 degrees. On the way into Papeete we passed
the Island of Moorea which was a spectactular sight in the early morning sun.
Tahiti is a lush mountainous island with beautiful landscape and
scenery surrounded by coral reefs. As we had previously seen the sights of
Tahiti, our day in Papeete only involved an easy wandering the streets and
foreshores of the capital which is not a big town and easy to get around.
Our afternoon sailaway at sunset was an amazing experience with the
ship sailing around and close to the island of Moorea which is only 20km from
Tahiti, before heading out to sea.
Our next port of call is Pago Pago in American Samoa in two days time.
