The view from our cabin

porthole when we wake up

in the morning.

An afternoon welcome party on the quayside with a local band, coconut tasting and canoe rides.

I am sat just in front of the skipper at the back.

The canoes are very traditional in Tahiti and can be found all along the coastline, we

After all the fun followed our briefing for the next few weeks exploring the Isles de la Societe (Society Islands)
