What time is it there?!

Ia ora na! We've travelled almost halfway around the world now, and we're in..... France! Well, most people speak French, and in order to help maintain French culture the government subsidise the price of baguettes so that they are pretty much the cheapest food you can buy!

In the very early hours of Saturday morning we arrived at our much anticipated tropical island part of this trip ..... in the rain! After being robbed by a taxi driver whose legs were shorter than Nikky's (apparently all Taxi rides are daylight robbery) we arrived at the port of Papeete to take the short ride to Moorea. By the time we arrived it was no longer raining and was beginning to get HOT - it was only 7.30am! Buses on Moorea are few and far between and the next one going in the right direction was not until 9.30 - 9.45 (depending on who you spoke to!) It actually left about 10.05am. After clambering aboard a rickety old bus whose air conditioning system seemed to consist of leaving the front door open! we arrrived at Hotel Kaveka ..... our little piece of paradise for the next week.
