Clothes: Rohan Expedition Shirt
The last thing I did before we left was went clothes shopping, never too keen to spend money, these shirts were 45quid each and took some convincing to buy them, but i’m already glad I did.
Forget Tahiti, We like Rarotonga!
Morning! It is Sunday at 11.30 in the morning, it is very quiet here as everyone else has gone to church. The beaches are all deserted so we decided to go for a swim! It doesn’t feel that hot compared to other days but its still a lovely 28oC! We are deciding whether to stay [...]
Au Revoir Tahiti!
Things to know about Tahiti:
If you want to catch a bus, give yourself a couple of hours, and don’t expect one after 4pm.

Just because its 30 degrees, we’re the other side of the world and Tahiti’s never seen the snow, [...]

38 hours travelling and only 23 hours have passed?
Well hello, we’re wandering about the Capital of Tahiti, Papeete, waiting to book in to our villa on the coast, sadly, we arrived at 5 this morning but can’t book in until after 12.
Our trip here was long but enjoyable, Virgin Atlantic fed us well and provided loads of geeky entertainment, New Zealand Air just [...]
Water Filter: MSR MiniWorks
We’ve used this filter over the past few years on Dartmoor, its proven to be very hard to break, the one time I did, I was able to take it apart and clean it, its very field maintainable.
We will be taking it with us so we can provide our own safe water.
Flask: Lifeventure 1L Lexan Flask
Very durable water container, wide mouthed, virtually unbreakable!
First Night away in Tahiti
Our first hotel is booked, we’re staying at the Hiti Moana Villa, very exciting!
