Do you suffer from stress? come to Tahiti! life moves at a veeeeeeeery slow pace here! We planned a few days in Tahiti between Papeete, Bora Bora and Moorea just expecting sun, beach and thousands of colourful fishes, that is what we found. Our arrival to Papeete was ok, a bit late but there was a typical welcoming with Tahitian music and a stri...

just landed. This is supposed to be Paradise so I hope I'll have plenty of nice pictures to upload soon. For the moment it's dark so I'll see tomorrow. Everybody speak French, how bizarre!! I'm not much of a foreigner anymore. weird. There's a nice mountain (2200m) in the center of the island so I'm sure that will motivate me to skip the beach a...

We arrived to the French Polynesian Island of Tahiti and were greeted in the airport by happy men in flowered shirts playing the ukulele and woman in coconut bras putting leis on people (but *still* not us, what gives!!?) - the ambiance combined with the tropical air made us happy to be in Tahiti. The airport was beautiful and as I sat there com...

Bon soir! Mahahaavan tasta saisi, jos tallainen matkustelu jatkuisi pidempaan. Ei, en tarkoita sita, etta on aktiivinen ja kay monessa paikassa. Sen sijaan suurin stressin aiheuttaja on lentaminen paikasta toiseen. Kun jo pelkka nousukiito saa itsellani pulssin nousemaan, adrenaliinitaso pompsahtaa kattoon, kun paalle lisataan jannitys siita, eh...

It was a 6 hour flight from Easter Island to Tahiti and a 5 hour time change, so I arrived at 23.30 but it felt like 04.30. I was again impressed with LAN's comfy seats, widescreen TVs and a good choice of in-flight entertainment. And we were given real cutlery and crockery for the food.... none of the flimsy plastic rubbish! A world away from r...

We had a midday flight out of Auckland so that meant an earlyish start as we had to find the car-hire place, fill the car with gas and then quickly spray paint over all the dents and scrapes Rach has caused over the last 4 weeks. (Haardy har har :o). Fortunately we got the car back in one piece and the handback process was much easier than picki...

After a week of exploring the island of Tahiti we are starting to love this place. Here is some of what we have learnt. Tahiti is the name of just one island in the French Polynesia group, an area of archipelagos that could cover Europe. Tahiti is a colourful mixture of French and Polynesian cultures. The Polynesians provide the beer, turquoise...

Ah, the exotic South Pacific of French Polynesia. We were lured by romantic visions of iridescent, reef-protected, mesmerizingly turquoise-blue lagoons saturating beaches of sugary sand under the shadow of rugged and lush mountains, all while lusty maidens serenaded us to sweet sleep surrender... Not quite reality! Tahiti and the nearby island o...

I'd heard an American saying to some people that Tahiti was over-rated, so I was a little disturbed to hear this as we were en-route. However, having arrived at midnight (obviously in the dark) it was with huge delight we woke to find out our hostel was located right on the coastline with the most spectacular view of the clear blue ocean, via th...
