24 March -- At Sea

We've turned the corner and are heading northeast towards Tahuata, as we are near the end of our voyage, visiting the last 2 islamds on our itinerary during the days ahead!

We had a sunrise that was hidden by clouds on the horizon, but what a fantastic sunset.



As we had a sea day, we had a relaxing morning at the aft pool, followed by Robbi's standing Mahjongg game.  She really has had fun playing and even had some imprmptu games in the afternoon after tours while we were in port.  I've been reading and draining the library dry!😃😃

Last night we were treated to a Polynesian Feast complete with a fully stocked Fruit Market.  The staff has gone out of their way to decorate and make this a wonderful experience.  Today they had a French Restuarant menu complete with mussels, bouillabaise, baguettes, etc.  Where they get all these varietties of foods, we'll never know, and we probably won't experience them in our normal day-to-day life when we return to reality!!!


We're truly having a great time!

    WOW, that fruit display! I realized we haven't heard too much about the food on the ship! Are you enjoying it in general?

  We're on board and heading to San Diego, flying First Class for a change and treating Robbi.  We landed early and are now at the hotel and will be heading to Old Town shortly for sightseeing and reminiscing about our short time in San Diego in 1987, while living in Rancho Penisquitos and working in Ranco Bernardo for a year. Looking forward to tomorrow!!

23 March -- Fakarava, Tuamotu

Image
Welcome to the atoll of Fakarava with a population of 847, a lagoon surface of 1121sq.km and a dry land surface of only 16sq.km.  Pristine!!  It was named a Natural Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. We entered the lagoon from the north (Garuae) which is the largest pass in French Polynesia. A short tender ride to shore and we were warmly greeted by the people, with music, coconut, and local artisans in the village of Rotoava.  We really had a nice walk-about on the sand, taking in the sites!!
