Tahiti
TAHITI (PAPEETE), FRENCH POLYNESIA
In 1769 Captain James Cook sailed to the shores of the Society Islands – Tahiti is the largest of the Windward Islands, which with the Leeward group, form the Society Islands. We began the day today with a brief walking tour of Papeete. While docking, we had seen a wedding taking place on shore and during the walk we got to see the happy couple in a local farmers’ market.We later took a West Coast Highlights tour that included black sand beaches created by the island’s volcanic origins, beautiful waterfalls, and a fern grotto filled with stunning groups of flowers and tree shapes. We also visited a museum that highlighted the migration of the Polynesian people throughout the South Pacific.
The evening
was topped off with a “Girls Night Out” Japanese themed dinner on board for
Julie Wheeler and me AND a nightcap at the Explorer Lounge Bar!!!
