Papeete - Tahiti

He last time we were in Papeete we stayed in the town and did not see any of the countryside, so this time we decided to do a tour.
Our half-day tour was again organised by our friend Karen, we had a group of eight of us., it was a great group we had a lot of laughs.


We meet our guide Carl just off the pier and jumped into his mini van,  we spent the next 4-5 hours visiting all of the high points of the area, the lighthouse and it’s monuments, the blow hole of Arahoho (which was closed but we all jumped the fences), Faarumai waterfalls which were just beautiful (by this time it was pouring with rain but still very warm), then back to the marketplace to by pearls.  After all of this we found a nice bar to have some lunch and a couple of beers.
