First Port of Call, Nuku Hiva

Most people have never heard of Nuku Hiva, let alone, been there. This was our 4th visit to this unspoiled island. The ship arranged a lunch and folkloric show. We tendered over around 9 am. A short calm ride in the ship's tender. We walked around and saw various craft tables with wood carvings and jewelery. Everyone was friendly and anxious to display their wares.
Food was put out around 10:30. A ritual of smoking a pig in the ground and uncovering it was followed by various side dishes. We tendered back to the ship, had a swim and a nap. We are now on our way to Papeete, Tahiti.
