Somewhere in the South Pacific

Hey, what happened to Wednesday? We crossed the International dateline last night and Wednesday simply disappeared! We decided to call that our fasting and no drinking day - sounds pretty convenient.
We will arrive in Tonga tomorrow morning for a day of kayaking and snorkeling.
The South Pacific Ocean has been delightfully smooth and is a spectacular cerulean blue, so different from the water we saw on the way to French Polynesia.
The first photos are of Papeete, Tahiti, where we visited the market and saw some quite unusual fruits, vegetables and fish.
The last 4 pictures are of Bora Bora. It was a lovely island - we biked about 10 miles and got to experience the sounds and wonderful cooking smells on a Sunday morning.

As you can see, Nancy and I have embraced our potential French Polynesian roots and had dinner in flower headdresses! Later on, Jeff and Jim explored their possible Polynesian roots, perhaps a little less successfully, but they looked awfully cute.Weiterlesen
