One very beautiful sunset, on the oh so slightly manufactured beach of our hotel! Very pretty palm trees for me to stand under none the less. And a lovely view out over the Tahiti lagoon towards the nearest island, Moorea. Below you can see an interesting photo of Gary outside the hotel, at the edge of the lagoon-like swimming pool... as the sea is so close behind him it looks as if he is walking on water! You can see a plane taking off from the nearby airport too - luckily not too nearby so we could easily get some sleep.
The crabs that lived off the rocks near the hotel were huge! Well, not quite Hakodate-sized monsters, but a good 20 cm across. I found it fascinating to watch them skuttle sideways as the waves hit them and knocked them from thier prime sunning spots.
Another beautiful sunset, more lovely palm trees, and a good view of Moorea (on the right half of the horizon). That island (like Tahiti) was always smothered in clouds. You could never see the mountians at the centre of the isle, only the coast line. And frequently the clouds would encroach over the coastal regions too, giving us a soaking as we walked into town!
