It's been a crazy few months for me, the last of which has been spread across four different countries - French Polynesia, Australia, England, France. (That doesn’t include my stops in Thailand and Hong Kong but I’m pretty sure they count as countries…)
Today - a quick run down, starting with Tahiti.
It was a week in Paradise doing unheavenly things. By day I trotted about in the heat trying to make my highschool french understood and interpreting labels and signs while I priced my 125 items.
Afternoons I spent by the pool with a book, ipod and poolside drinks and snack service. I have resisted the urge to publish photos of me enjoying yet another island paradise.
At night, lounged around my room with room service and movies.
It was my first trip that I did not meet anyone to speak of. The resort ws full of young American couples obsessed with each other or much older French groups with disdain for my lame French.
Tahiti was a pretty strange place compared to the other Pacific islands I've visited. Firstly, the food was wonderful - trust the French to bring delightful cholesterol laiden foods when they colonise a place! Not a patch on the NZ influence in Cook Islands or the American influences in Palau.
The street scapes were totally different too - quite built up with a more European feel to the architecture and a more Asian feel to the layout. All still with that distinctly tropical island feel.
