There is no public transport on Raivavae so John was so kind to give me the lift to the pier in Rairua. Ship arrived! It is the important event on the island, celebrated only one or two times every month! Everybody goes to the ship to collect parcels, to meet returning family members, to buy the fuel directly from the ship.
I bought a ticket for the lowest class “deck couchette” on the pier. It cost 2750 CFP. Then the showed me the way to my place. It looks like in the war transporter: 48 or so steel, two-tier beds in one room.
If you want extra also meals you pay extra 5000 per day – ridicoulous!
We left Raivavae in the late afternoon – this was excellent time to enjoy the picturesque mountains ofthis lovely island from the north – all in the sun…
