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!

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 let us sleep. We got to leave the airport at LAX too so we can add American soil to our list of places visited!
Hope the UK is good, Tahiti’s Hot, Humid and Green. They’ve got the prettiest Airport in the World! We’re doing very well with our French, we’re even typing this on a French keyboard which is a bit of a struggle.
Speak to you soon when we have some photos.
