Papeete - Saturday January 15th

Docked in Papeete at 1.00pm, temperature 83F….went ashore after lunch but being a French island most of the shops were closed (Vance was pleased because they were very expensive) so it was just window shopping.

That evening we had a private world-cruiser-only function (there are only 60 of us ..the rest of the guests (about 300) are just doing LA to Auckland or LA to Sydney). We went to a beautiful restaurant right on the beach and had champers and cocktails watching the sun sink into the sea, followed by a 4 course French cuisine meal…much too rich for me but we aren’t exactly hungry so I ate very little….then there was a Tahitian show in the gardens with locals dancing and singing…it was fabulous…the photos are great…

Vance couldn’t decide which dancer he preferred so in the end he chose two!! … Click Here To See Pics
