Tahiti Paradise

Day 22, January 26

We are docked in Tahiti. Quite a lovely island.   We were greeted by natives –Polynesian music and drums.  We went across the street to an ATM machine.  There are no stop lights.  You have to just step into the street (rush hour traffic) and pray they stop.  We went back by the dock and walked along the water through a part.  Nice. It’s expensive here.  A bottle of sun tan lotion cost 30 dollars. We didn’t buy it. It’s very warm here.  Ron walked on the the cultural center and I want back to the local market and then to the ship. I was going to buy one of those cotton cloths that you tie into a dress or skirt, but the fabric is a cheap cotton and they wanted too much for them.  I spent the rest of the day lazing by the pool and working in my rewrite for the GP book. 

We left  just after sundown and the lights from the city were gorgeous on the water.
