Our Cruise Begins

Day 4

Decided to have breakfast delivered to our bungalow on our last day. We just didn't want to leave until the last minute. We had arranged for late checkout so we were going to milk every last minute we could.

 

My morning was snorkel, snack, read, relax, snorkel, snack, read, relax. Snorkeling from my dock around the lagoon and back was a blast.  Bonnie just snacked and relaxed and took in some sun.. 

It was hard to say goodbye to our wonderful place, but  we finally did.

We  headed our ship, the Paul Gauguin,  and started our cruise. Boarding was a snap, walk on the ship, take a seat, show your passport, then your steward escorts you to your room. I could get used to this. Checked out the ship, learned about the next few days and enjoyed a nice dinner and enjoyed another beautiful sunset.

We had a little excitement as Luc left his only pair of pants at the hotel. The shore excursion director, Pia, came to the rescue. Well done. 

In typical undecided fashion, Bonnie and I were still figuring out our activities for tomorrow as we headed to bed, while Jen and Luc were all set for the next 4 days! Go figure. We are thinking about trying  some diving


As we turned in, our ship tooted its horn, and we headed out from the protected lagoon of Papeete to open sea on our way to Huahine. The stars in the clear southern sky were amazingpulled away from the island of Tahiti.   We'll be at our next island before we wake up.
