Beautiful islan of Moorea is visible from Papeete. We sailed there during the night… I was surprised! I was severeal times to Moorea always arriving from Papeete by ferry. In the meantime they built little pier for tenders coming from the cruise ships but not in the ferry dock in Vaiare, but in the north of the island – at the entrance to Opuhonu Bay. That’s where our ship is anchoring.
At the tender pier tour organizers were waiting (50 USD for 2 hours trip) But I liked more Polynesians drummers and pretty dancers welcoming us here.
Local ladies in flower crowns were offering pareo, shells and other souvenirs. I decided not to stay here but to walk in the lush green scenery deep to the end of Opunohu Bay.
After more than an hour walk I reached completly new museum Fare Natura, where weak internet is available. Unfortunately clouds came in this moment covering the area with fogg and spraying us with litte, warm rain. We wanted to walk onward to Cook’s Bay but….
Morea is lovely. For me with its palm, breadfruits and tropical flowes is even nicer than Tahiti.
In the evening wie will sail north to Hawaii. It will be five full days in the ocean. Sorry, internet on the ship is very expensive so you can expect next message only from Honolulu. Maururu dear friends ! 🙂
