Pape'ette, Tahiti April 22, 2016

Capten Rens van Eerten, changed our itinerary, we will now be in Papeete, Tahiti today Friday, from 6:00 to 1:00 AM  on Saturday the 23rd, the short cruise across the bay to Moorea. Instead of the reverse, seem we need fuel., and stores. Well that is ok with us as when we awoke in Tahiti it wasn't raining. At least not at first.   

This is a big city, and it was sweltering hot and humid. So we were going across the street, to find the market, we missed last time we were here, because it wasn't opened. And we had no excursion booked, and many had been canceled. 

I was feeling a bit under the weather, with a yucky cold so, we didn't do much. They had a show with dancers in the theater, but we knew we would never get in, as our dinner time makes it so we would not be able to get there early enough to get seats,,, oh well.
