Moorea, French Polynesia Day 2

       

When I opened the curtains in our bungalow on Sunday morning there was our ship! It was different seeing it like that from shore. I finished the crepe from last night then went looking for Mel. He had been sitting with Al and Christian in the restaurant. We both just had coffee, they actually didn't charge us for it! That was nice but it wasn't as good as my Nespresso lattes I'd been having in our cabin every morning on the ship. We headed out to the pier to pick up our friend. He was walking off the tender just as we walked down to the pier, perfect timing. We spent a bit of time at the market on the pier then went back to the hotel to snorkel. Don was as impressed by it as we were. We spent well over an hour in the water then had to clean up and check out. 

                                                         


                 The blue things pull in if you touch them. They are part of the coral!

        

We had lunch at the hotel, Don's treat which was nice. I again had their ceviche, this time with fish. It was delicious. 

        

We sat around for a bit watching the water. Mel and Don were done in the water so I went back in by myself. It was so beautiful I could have spent several more hours out there. I spent just about an hour then got dressed. I wanted to use the free Internet in the lobby for a while before returning to the ship. Al and Christian were doing the same. We got in a taxi at about 3:30 and were back at the pier shortly after. While the rest headed back to the ship, I did more shopping on the pier. They had some beautiful things, most with beautiful prices! I did not buy much. We were back on board and unpacked well before dinner at 5:30. It had been a wonderful experience in Moorea. I think it is the best of the islands in Polynesia.
