Moorea

Wednesday 8 October

Early this morning we were on deck

to witness our arrival in Moorea.

a ship wreck

view from our deck

we took the tender ashore

then we took a boat smaller than the tender to
go our our excursion  around

the driver of the boat was very relax, no hand on the wheel

we came across people swimming with reef shark and rays

we arrived at the motu

the lagoon where we swam with the rays

the beach, coarse sand and mostly coral bits

the rays were very friendly

and loved to be patted

then the rain came and everybody sheltered waiting

for the sun to come back for us to go have a swim!!!

Deuh!! when we realised how stupid this was we all

went back in the water and the sun came back

to dry us

but on the way back it rained again

Margaret and Paul

tonight is the farewell dinner
we had bomb Alaska for dessert.
the chiefs brought them in a defile with loud music.

Sandra

our waiters

our table group

It is sad this is the end of our cruise.

Tomorrow Papeete and debarking.

we went to the bar to listen to music for a little while

before going on deck and watching some Tahitian dancing
