The ship arrive midday in Tahiti. It is amazing to see how they can “park” the
ship and navigate it into port. The ship
actually made a 180 degree turn to dock.
Folks disembarked and were greeted by Tahitian singers, and
I was off on a tour of
Papenoo
Valley. There were hundreds of
waterfalls, and our sight-seeing truck went over dams of flowing rivers to get
into the interior of the island. It was
bumpy.
A final stop at the beach was in order, and the surf was up
on this cloudy afternoon. You might
notice that I got a burn with sunscreen and a hat in this tropical
paradise.
These pictures are a little out of sequence ... a problem with Blogger today.

| Thousands of waterfalls exist in the Papenoo Valley. The river is being used to generate electricity. |
 |
| This was part of the "road" we crossed. It's one of the dams being used to generate power in the valley. |
 |
| I'm standing on the road after we successfully crossed the river. |
 |
| Here I am at the point ... It was overcast and I used sunscreen, but I believe I'm burned! |
 |
| The ship navigated a tight spot to reach the harbor in Tahiti. |

| Can you believe we drove across this steam as part of the tour? |
