Today was Papette and a great day. We didn’t have to meet our tour until 8:20 so we had time to have breakfast on our balcony. Then it was off for the day.
Beautiful day, sunny and hot with the hint of breeze. We left the ship and caught a ferry to Moorea from Papette. When we arrived a bus was waiting to take us on a short land tour and we went into the mountains which were lovely. Then we on a boat to a private motu for another picnic – this was one was fantastic. Chicken, fish, some delicious sausage that I have never really tasted before, pasta salad, lettuce salad, fresh pineapple and beer and soft drinks. We swam and could snorkel if we wished and relaxed until it was time to leave.
Then we were bused to the airport where we took the shorestt flight in history. The flight was 7 minutes long – it took longer to taxi than to fly. We got into the air at cruising altitude and the ding ding for decent came on. It was laughable. But the view from the window of the plane was priceless.
We are both so tan and relaxed it is pathetic. Tonight we are going to the Sterling Steakhouse for dinner.
Alas, we are leaving “paradise” and our next stop will be US soil. While a certain part of me is ok with that a huge part of me hates to leave the islands of the Pacific. We have decided we would like to come back t the islands – not necessarily Australia but the islands have enchanted both of us. Sam’s favorite is Bora Bora and it has long been known that I love that island. We’ll have to wait and see what happens who knows what is in the cards for our next trip.
Now we have four days at sea and we’ll be in Honolulu. I can hardly believe we are on the downhill side. Before too long we will back at home in Pennsylvania doing everyday things and have a million memories of this wonderful adventure.
Love to all of you
Sam and Char
