Last night the ship was entertained by a Polynesian dance
troupe that shared history in dance.
This morning I had an early excursion in which I visited several
historical points:
- The James Norman Hall
home. Hall collaborated to write the
“Mutiny on the Bounty” series of books.
His son later became an Oscar winning director. The home is a history to both father and son,
and it’s a beautiful ode to the family.
- Point Venus. This is the point where most Europeans landed
by mooring their ships outside the surrounding reef and using a dingy to come
ashore. The area is popular for surfing,
and there was a contest on this rainy morning.
- The newest overlook, Tahara’a Belvedere, which
is beautiful even on a cloudy, rainy morning.
This is, after all, the rainy season in Tahiti.

| The museum guide for the home of the author of the Mutiny on the Bounty trilogy is sharing some history of the family. |
 |
| Hall's office. It also contains files of edits he made. |
 |
| The Point Venus Lighthouse is the only lighthouse on Tahiti. It is the far north of the island. |
 |
| A cloudy and rainy morning doesn't take away from the beauty of Tahiti. |
