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.

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 here an extra week and maybe stay in Samoa and Tonga less (the guide book scared us rather a lot…) It’s a shame we have a deadline to come back otherwise we would extend our time everywhere!
We are staying in a backpackers place- like a youth hostel in the uk. We have made a few friends already and we played cards with them most of yesterday evening when we had torrential rain for 3 hours!
We have been on a bus journey round the island…. we only wanted to go 10 minutes up the road but ended up going all the way round because the bus only goes clockwise after 12.30pm on Saturday! (it only takes 45 minutes to go round anyway so we weren’t too disappointed!)
The money is NZ dollars and i have never seen triangular coins before!
Thats all for now, we are off for some lunch and some more relaxing as everything is shut today!

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.
- The car of choice is a Peugoet 106 in White, everyone has one… just like me
- Just because its 30 degrees, we’re the other side of the world and Tahiti’s never seen the snow, at Christmas time you can still buy a 6 foot inflatable snow man.
Here are a few photos of Tahiti, we have many more so expect a slide show when we get home.
