Our fabulous weather and calm seas continued as we arrived in French Polynesia. Papeete, Tahiti, was our first stop. A bustling city with lots of traffic and shops awaited us as we decided to take our traditional walk around. Rudy and Shirley joined us as Mike led us on our 2 mile walk. We stopped in shops, bought postcards and headed to the market place.....a large 2 story open air market with lots of produce, fish, baked goods and wares. As the heat and humidity rose, we decided to go back to the ship for a swim and lunch.
The ship overnighted in Papeete, and the wonderful staff and crew prepared a deck Bar B Q for all the passengers. We had Tahitian dancers and music and lots of delicious food.
The next morning we arrived in Moorea. We took a tour with the Virtuoso Travel Group and went all around the island. We had lunch at the Hilton Hotel and our day ended around 4. Made it up to the pool, had an early dinner and turned in around 10pm.
We arrived in Bora Bora early on Saturday, Jan 24. It is our favorite island. We went with our friends, Rudy and Shirley, over to the Sofitel Hotel. We used the pool, beach area, and had lunch. It was a perfect day. In the evening we enjoyed dinner and a show. A new concept aboard the ship is a dinner in Signatures and a show in a smaller venue....the Horizen Lounge. It was wonderful!
We are heading to Rarotonga. A lush island, that we have never been to before.
