Tahiti

Tahiti and traffic jams- like us, you would probably think No! Well, gridlock it is- so much traffic in Papeete, the main town, that we could have walked there quicker. The great bit was the bus, or rather truck, with air conditioning (no windows), an emergency exit ( gate at the back) and seating for 42 (sideways benches). Personal space nil but great fun.

Overall a relaxing day, without spending much during the retail therapy- there are flowers everywhere, of all colours, sizes and varieties. Where do they put them all?- apart from in their
hair, behind their ears and round their necks?

It's been a wonderful experience, including tropical rain while we were sunbathing.
NZ tomorrow......................................
