Papeete, Last Day

 The last real day of our holiday. I won't right anything tomorrow as we spend the day flying home - an 8.35am flight to Auckland, then an hour and a half later a flight on to Sydney. We should be home around 7.30pm.

At little to report from the day. The restaurant was packed when we went for breakfast - it seems to be a popular local brunch spot. After recovering from this we went for a swim.

As we were returning to our room at 1pm we looked out the window and saw the adjacent shopping centre closing, which was frustrating as we'd counted on that for lunch. Lucky we overate at breakfast time. So we could spend the afternoon reading and, yes, re-packing, then go down for an early tea of burgers in the poolside cafe. Then more reading and packing, bearing in mind that we're going to be up at 5am.

The End

Papeete, Town Again

 Today was pretty much a repeat of yesterday. We'd looked into tours around Tahiti, or hiring a car, but not come up with anything. So again, mid-morning we walked into town and around the clothing and tourist shops. Diodn't buy anything though, and eventually we walked back. All of which was a bit harder than yesterday because it was sunnier and thus hotter.

To compensate we did very little in the afternoon, other than walk across to the shops and have an icecream.

In the evening we ate in the asian restaurant in the hotel, which was very good.
