On Thursday, I walked around downtown and met these two young men.
Lots of chickens around. I bought a ham sandwich here - $1.50 - and walked to the Presidental Palace and ate it sitting on the steps. The Palace is very scenic - well worth to go and see it.
Walking to the palace, one statue has a big chicken on it.
Lots of run-down buildings......
There is a hugh indoor market - meat, fish, vegetables, prepared food, baskets, dresses,
perfumes, vanilla pods, flowers....
At one of the tourist shops, I found a polynesia skirt. I had American money, but the clerk said if I pay with cash, taxes would add $10 to the bill. So then I went to the ship, got my visa card and bought the skirt - $62.
Presidental Palace
I loved Tahiti - I would have liked to have stayed out that night for drinks and dinner, but I was alone, so back to the ship. But I wore the skirt for dinner that night - lots of compliments.
