Day 241, Year 1: A Full Day Tour of Moorea
Date: Thursday, June 15, 2006
Weather: Another Fantastic Day
Location: Cook’s Bay, Moorea (Society Islands, French Polynesia)
What a day! We picked up the rental car at 8:00 am this morning and we have just returned to the boat at 11:30 pm. It was a long, but fantastic day. We drove the perimeter of Moorea, met very interesting people, went snorkeling and saw fish we have never seen before and some very colorful coral, drove up into the mountains, visited archaeological sites, went to the Moore Juice Factory (which produces only “fermented” juices), and ended our evening at a local restaurant called Alfredo’s. Kathleen from Quantum Leap was going to be singing and playing guitar there tonight with Ron Falconer. He is a sailor who lived in the Caroline Islands in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s with his wife and young children, who now makes his living as a musician.
It was a day jam-packed with new experiences and I will have to write the details in the morning. After almost 14 hours on the go, it is time for rest. I’ll check-in early in the tomorrow with the details of today.
