Papeete, Tahiti

January 25 & 26 The weather had been perfect until we reached Tahiti where it rained for two days. Each day, I waited, hoping the sky would clear, and each day I got the bad news by early afternoon that my dives were cancelled. Visibility was low and the currents strong. We didn’t arrive until noon on Saturday and the town closes for the weekend by 1pm. Saturday night I did explore the food trucks and I got up at 5 am on Sunday to sightsee at the market place. Everything is very expensive on this island, so I returned to the ship and enjoyed a day of card games with friends. Tomorrow I have more dives scheduled in Bora Bora, but the weather forecast still calls for more rain. My fingers are crossed.
