Tahiti(Papeete)
Elizabeth on the rocks in the sandy bottom pool at the
Beachcomber in Papeete.
Leaving Tahiti for Taha'a. The hotel on the penninsula is the
Beachcomber we stayed at.

Arrival by boat at Le Taha'a, a resort on the northern motu of the
Island of Taha'a.

A Jackfish seen from a six person submarine outside the Bora Bora
lagoon.
The feeding frenzy that resulted when the pilot of the sub chummed the
waters.
"Black tipped shark, big! big! big! five meter! five meter!" as the
French sub pilot put it.
Mullet fish or bread fish as we called them. Huge packs would
converge whenever bread was thrown in the water.

Moorea

Elizabeth hiking in Moorea. Finally at a resort on an island
instead of an outlying motu, we figured we could just
walk to the grocery store. It was unfortunately 3 miles
away. We took a cab back.
Mount Mouaputa (on Moorea) - The Pierced Mountain - Profile looks like
a woman praying to the sky.
The best of the 30 pictures we took trying to take pictures of
dolphins. They only spend a 1/2 second above the
surface and they surface in random spots. I got the sense they
don't much care for tourists.
Joey petting a stingray.
Our Daewoo rental car. No A/C and stick shift. Only $75 for
4 hours. Such a deal!
A Marae on Moorea. As we later learned the ones close to the
water were used primarily for sacrificing members
of the losing tribe in battle. The ones up in the forest were
used for marriages and animal sacrifice.
Lookout stop on our 4x4 tour.
