More food
28. september, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
For dinner, it is Mexican night. Curious how the food is going to turn out.

Erik ordered the loaded nachos (he has been looking forward to these for a few days), quesadilla, enchiladas and arroz con leche. I ordered the same except for the enchiladas I ordered carne asada ranchera and I did not get the nachos.

Nachos were not the greatest according to Erik. The rest of the food was delish!Les mer

Day 12
29. september, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
Good morning! We didn't sleep too well last night. The boat made sooooo many noises. Just random creaking and it was annoying because it didn't come from places we could fix. For instance, the first couple nights our safe door would open and close and finally we realized it so we locked it and the noise went away. It was glorious.

Today we are traveling at 170 degrees at 18.3 knots. We are in 4890 meters of sea depth and have traveled 4443 nautical miles this far.

Almost breakfast time.Les mer

Another day another breakfast
29. september, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
Met up with parentals for breakfast. Erik did steak and eggs and I did eggs and hash browns. We sat at a much larger table and not next to the ocean today.

It was a nice quiet hour just talking about the next few days and how we are going to change times quite a bit more before we land in Sydney. Technically, we already went through the International Date Line and will go through it again before we get to Papeete tomorrow. However, because we go through it so frequently, we are certain the cruise line didn't want to confuse the passengers by going forward a day, back a day, and forward a day again. For now, we are not officially recognizing the international date line for a few more days.

My dad is itching to get back to work, even though he is retired in just a few days. I wish he could financially afford to just sit back and enjoy doing nothing. He could use some relaxation (outside of this cruise).Les mer

Tahitian Dance Class
29. september, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
Oh. My. Goodness. My legs are not going to be able to move tomorrow. That class was intense. Tahitian dance was fun. Some of the ladies had zero rhythm but getting out there to do it is all that matters. Except when I'm trying to focus on the lady up front teaching the class and I couldn't see her 😂 oh well. I threw on my sarong and Smom and I did 60 minutes of moving our hips. Whew! I need to do Tahitian dancing for my workouts.

My shorts are a little tight today. I'm blaming it on the people washing our clothes but chances are it's all the dang food I'm stuffing in my mouth. I'm doing a whole lot of stairs though, as Erik and I do not take the elevator. I'm not getting much walking in though. We usually get lazy and read and take a nap 😴 is there anything more fun for that? I think not haha.Les mer

Last Lecture from Shannon
29. september, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
Shannon gave a lecture today on Mālama A'ina. Take care of our land. It was a quick lecture but she ended it really telling us to look at all the good that is happening but also to look at the bad. Mostly, I believe this is so that we can see how we can make an impact on the bad. For instance, animals are going to be endangered in a certain zone, so let's not buy those illegal artifacts or let's watch pollution (pick up a piece of trash if you can), etc. Fund conservation projects, donate to them.Les mer

Relaxation
29. september, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ 🌙 81 °F
After the lecture Erik and I went to the balcony to read. The neighbors to our left were outside chatting it up. We thought we were going to hit some rain, but the pocket of rain was too slow for us.

After we read, we came inside to take a nap. I am the only one who napped. I still have this sickness. My ears are clogged and my nose is stuffy and running down the back of my throat 🤢 outside of the annoying cough though, I feel okay. It feels like I need to puff my inhaler every 3 seconds. Constantly clearing my throat. I must sound amazing to the other guests on board. I'm over it. I have taken DayQuil and NyQuil for the past 3 or 4 days. It just won't let up.

Well enough of that. Erik played chess on his phone while I napped. Our neighbors to the right sounded like they were bowling in their room again so I woke up. Then Erik started reading his magazines again.Les mer

Voice Performer: Bradley Sinclair
29. september, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F
The show tonight was a guy from the Voice: Bradley Sinclair. He sang a lot of Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra type songs. He actually was quite good . I had never heard of him before but his voice was smooth and he could go pretty deep. I enjoyed it even though that isn't the genre I normally listen to.

Erik and I went for a walk up top afterwards and then went back to the cabin to prep for our day on Papeete tomorrow. The parentals have a carnival excursion lined up. We couldn't get into that one so we are hoping they have vendors or someone who will drive us around for a fair price. More to follow tomorrow and hopefully some beautiful pictures.

Papeete is an island that formed from two volcanoes (now extinct).Les mer

Papeete!
30. september, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F
Good morning! We came into port at Papeete At around 530am. We are in 1750 meters of water. Traveled 4812 nautical miles. Currently we are not traveling at any course or speed.

It is gorgeous outside. Very lush / green. It is warm out and was a little drizzly earlier. Lots and lots of cars.

Erik says he expected a tiny island, lots of grass skirts and 3 mopeds. That is not what this place is.

The streets are full of cars. Clouds are low.Les mer

First Walk About
30. september, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
Erik and I ate breakfast on Lido and then got off the ship. Papeete is very beautiful but it does have its pockets that are not as picturesque. We found an excursion vendor that offered $50 per person to tour the entire island for 4 hours, called the Circle Island Tour (the island is a circle). This excursion was about 3/4 cheaper than purchasing via Carnival. We walked around the market that is across the street as we have about 90 minutes until our tour starts. They have so many pearls and wooden carvings and sarongs. It is much more humid than my hair prefers. It is quite thick right now and unmanageable. We also found some cool and super cheap tours for Moorea, but we already have a tour booked. We called to cancel our booked tour because these tours are half the price but they don't accept cancellations that close to the date. Note for self to purchase off the ship next time.Les mer

Travel & Fern Grotto
30. september, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
Up first on our excursion, we went to the Grottes De Mara'a (Fern Grotto). The driver of our tour drove like he was on fire. I guess to get around the whole island in 4 hours, he has to hustle. Hustle he did. The grotto itself was beautiful. The drive to the grotto was subpar. The van was great because it had AC but I sat in the third row and could barely see out. Plus, Erik and I were on the ocean side so I did not get any cool shots of the landscape on the other side. It was gorgeous. The grotto was dripping and cool. We were not allowed in the water but it looked like it felt good.Les mer

30. september, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
Next on our tour, we stopped at the Jardin d'Eau de Vaipahi (Water Gardens of Vaipahi). This place was gorgeous! It was lush, green, vibrant and full of so much beauty. There was a water pond with eels in it (they looked like eels but maybe they were not?). So many chickens! Being from AZ, every tree and flower looked magnificent and photo-worthy. I loved this place. We only had 20 minutes but I could have spent a lot longer here.Les mer

Last - the beach
30. september, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F
Finally, we wound up at Plaga de la Pointe Venus. This is Venus Point, the Northernmost tip of our island. This is a black sand beach. It has lots of crabs, a lighthouse, more greenery and not a lot of people.

Some of the details our tour guide gave us were that there is one road that goes around the island and one that goes through the middle. Next time (if there is a next time), I am going with Erik 4x4 on the road that goes through the middle. He said there is a lake in the center that feeds a lot of the waterfalls. The water chestnut tree and rubber trees are considered sacred. There are no poisonous snakes or spiders on the island. There are 170,000 people that live on the island and it's the most populated of them in French Polynesian (~113 islands). Politically, it has 57 districts. The double lane road only goes for 15km. The extra lane splits depending on the time of day. The biggest industries are: tourism, pearls, vanilla beans, and manufacturing some of the flowers for tamanu oils. 2/3 of the support comes directly from the French government. The French military and the President have a partnership to make decisions. The oranges here cost anywhere from $5-$15. Wild. Meth apparently is called ice and they have a huge problem with it.Les mer

30. september, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
Of course with our last hours on this island, Erik and I had to walk around. The kids would hate us. We have 13,000 steps and we aren't even back on the boat. We were going to grab a bite to eat but it was almost 2pm and food is free on the boat come 515pm. We opted for a banana milkshake from this cute little shop. Then we went to the big market again for Erik to buy me a Tahitian pearl (in the form of a necklace). It was not expected and I absolutely love it. We didn't opt for the $200 necklaces they were selling so a nice $80 later and we found the one! We did not have time to snorkel today but luckily tomorrow we have an excursion that will put us in the water allegedly with sharks and other sea life. What a fun day! I could see myself living here. Land that allows you to grow basically anything. So much greenery and beauty that even the most underprivileged homes still look dreamy. Plus, to wear a sarong every day. My wardrobe would be so easy.Les mer

Woke up EARLY
1. oktober, South Pacific Ocean ⋅ ⛅ 79 °F
I woke up this morning, first at 330am and then I snoozed until 415am. My goal is to make it to be one of the first to get a ticket to get off the boat this morning because we have a 9am excursion and tenders start leaving the boat at 830am. Luckily, I made it down at 424am and no one is here! Woohoo. I should be first for the ticket! Smom told me that on their Singapore trip they had people lining up an hour before tickets sold so I'm here in time in case people were going to line up early here.

Time to read to pass the time.

About 30 minutes until the tickets are given out and though we do not have an actual line, we tried to make one with the chairs. Unfortunately, I can hear this one lady being slimy and saying there isn't a line and everyone is here for the same thing. I think the 5 of us that have been here an hour longer than her would beg to differ.

This one guy got up and tried to take charge but the people who came in late weren't having it. Finally the four of us who came in earliest got up and formed a line and everyone else followed. This older guy if European descent got in front of me and the two people behind me told him he couldn't be there. He tried to show us a video and tell is he knows he wasn't first but that he would let others go in front of him until it was his turn. That didn't fly with the second and third people in line. They made him move. Then the crew put the tickets by the elevators so we had to walk over there and then they walked us all the way around again to get us where they wanted us. It wasn't a big deal but some people definitely made it out to be one. Quite an adventure for having so little sleep.

Sea depth where we are anchored shows as 1750 meters, traveling 4948 nautical miles. Currently at zero speed and zero heading as we are anchored.Les mer

Island Dinner
30. september, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
This evening we were given an island dinner for our meal.

I had (now, don't judge me - I only had a small breakfast and half a banana milkshake) poisson cru (so dang delicious!), spring rolls, and a Hawaiian salad. All of those appetizers (oh my goodness yes, I had three 🤫) were phenomenal. For my entree I couldn't decide so I had the Huli Huli Chicken and the seafood feast. The chicken was mostly dry but had some moist parts. The skin had all the flavoring. The green beans were good. I didn't eat the pineapple rice. The seafood feast was delectable. Then for dessert I ate most of the coconut cake and only a few bites of the rum cake.

Erik had almost the same as me. We shared the rum cake. He had the poisson cru and the mi goreng. He really enjoyed both. For entree he has the same as me.

We were still in the dining room so we didn't get to see if anyone was running to the boat. We were mostly trying to figure out who owned the super yacht docked next to us. We think JK Rowling but couldn't find anything concrete.

Dad was full and didn't join us for dinner.

We took off about 630pm to head to our Anchorage at Moorea. Tomorrow we tender off the boat. Should be a good day with a 6 hour excursion... And it's my Dad and Smoms anniversary.

Papeete was quite expensive so we didn't get a chance to buy souvenirs there. Here's to hoping Moorea has something a little less pricey. One T-shirt in Papeete was $30!Les mer

We arrived in Moorea this morning after doing circles all night. The captain threw down the anchor just a few minutes ago. This place is magical. The entrance to get in this Anchorage is tight! It is no wonder we didn't anchor here all night.

Also, this is one year of being retired for me!!! Yay!!!Les mer

Breakfast with the Anniversary Couple
1. oktober, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
Happy 9 year anniversary to my Daddy and Smom (Sonia). For their anniversary, we decided to have breakfast with them 😜 just kidding, our excursion is for them, today.

I had a light breakfast in anticipation of a good lunch and big dinner. Erik had a big lunch. My Minnesota man needs a full meal to get him through the day. He did not sleep very well last night so he might be a bit more on the grumpy side. It doesn't help that I rushed him to breakfast. I have way more energy than he does and I think that bothers him this morning haha.Les mer

Where do I begin?
1. oktober, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
First, Erik and I met Dad and Smom downstairs for the tender to get to the port. I realized we left our printed excursion tickets, but Erik insisted we would be okay. He was right. He usually is. Even though I woke up super early to get zone 1, they offered zones 1-3 to get off the ship at the same time 🙄 it's okay though. We were the first zone 1'ers on the tender. The tender ride was okay. There were a ton of people on it. Packed to its full non-emergent capacity of 80 folks. Erik was a little annoyed at one of the guys on the tender because he acted like he was better than everyone else and he was loud and annoying.

Once we got off the tender, at roughly 845am, they had some Tahitian dancers and a cute handmade artisanal marketplace area. We walked around a bit and I found my shot glass. One of a kind and super pretty. We paired them with some orange earrings to make $20 so that we could pay with credit card.

Then we found our guide and asked if we could walk around a bit more. They agreed. I got antsy though and rushed Erik back on the tender. Our main guide got on the boat. First, I must say that when I booked a catamaran, I thought it would be a luxury one. It was not but it really wasn't too bad. I enjoyed it especially because it had overhead cover.Les mer

Water and Mountains
1. oktober, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F
We left the dock and went to the other anchorage, where our ship was not docked at. This anchorage was Cook's Bay, named after Captain Cook. The water was absolutely beautiful. We passed by one of those famous resorts with their Tahiti huts right off the water. To wake up on the water would be a dream! The water was brilliant shades of blue and very shallow. You could see many different chunks of coral. The mountains had clouds covering some of the tips of them. I'll have to look it up later but it was a twin mountain where the other twin is Tefiti. Both are from Moana, though. Very cool.Les mer

Dolphin in Captivity
1. oktober, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F
As we traversed along the water, we stopped at an old Tahiti hut resort that closed down due to COVID. It has a dolphin sanctuary in it. The dolphins (maybe 3?) were enclosed in this little area (or at least it appeared small). Though I was giddy to see dolphins, I did feel really bad for them. I assume there is a good reason they are held captive, like maybe they would die if left to their own devices. I am not sure.

Then we went snorkeling! What an adventure this was. It was my first time wearing my mask with prescription insets and how did I never have these before? My eyes saw things they have never seen before. Literally. I couldn't see underwater before. When we first got in, I immediately saw a black tip reef shark. Erik didn't see it and I tried telling him after it swam off. Then I swam closer to him which was an experience as the ocean was pulling me away from Erik and I was trying to swim towards him while avoiding the coral. So many fish. Trigger fish and so many others I could not even name. We swam for a long time but I could have easily swam longer. As we came closer to the boat, Dad and Smom let us know there were lots of sharks and sting rays. I even got to touch (and kiss 😘) one! So slimy on one end and rough on the other. Then more reef sharks came around and Erik was able to see it. I never thought I would be excited to swim near a shark. I did not want to leave this location, but we had to. I took so many photos and videos underwater but they are on an SD Card so they'll have to be uploaded to FB after we get home.Les mer

Cruising along to our own little island for our lunch, we saw some turtles just swimming out and about. I wish we could have seen them for a bit longer but everyone was getting hungry.

Food!
1. oktober, Fransk Polynesia ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F
Once we offloaded onto the island, we watched a demonstration on how to make Poisson Cru. The girl who assisted in this endeavor appeared to never have cooked before and she didn't seem to like tuna. It was a very funny presentation. It was also long so I'm not sure I can upload the video here. Check FB in a few weeks. We were also given a rum punch to drink and they did not skimp on the rum. Yum! They had some dogs around that I believe are just stray dogs, I'm not really sure. We gave them some of our bones. They looked well fed though. They would chase the chickens that were around. There were some guys that were playing some songs, too. It was a very relaxing and island-like atmosphere.Les mer
