Back in Papeete

We left the ship after long goodbye hugs and lot's of bises in a bit melancholic mood. What a journey that was, what wonderful people I met. Unforgettable. I had a coffee with Manu in a bar with Wifi, reconnected myself back to the world and checked in my hostel. In the afternoon we remet Denis, the French Chansonnier and it was again like on the ship, us laughing like lunatics and just having a good time together. Saturday I went diving with the sharks again. This time I knew what to expect which made it even better. A female tiger shark was passing a couple of times very close to me. Julien, one of the divemaster was filming the whole thing and promised to send it to me. I was supposed to meet my two fellows at PK18, a nice beach 18km outside of Papeete. Luckily one of my divebuddies offered me a ride. He is working for a couple of Pharmacies and is quite frustrated about how the Polynesian are working, their lack of seeing further then today. The only thing that kept him here was the diving. Hmm, not for everyone the life here I guess. The afternoon was again wonderful. There were no buses anymore to get us back in town. We did hitchhiking. This is forbidden in French Polynesia, as our driver told us. He was so nice and brought us right to the bar where we would meet Lynn and Mike from New Zealand for diner.Meer informatie
