So this is the city - a haircut, wifi that (almost) works, fruit smoothies, French pastries, water and electricity on the pontoon, and people like us here too. We are awash with stimuli and good company. Papeete is not a big place, but it's so much bigger than anywhere we've been since Panama city.
The photos I promised in the previous post are below. Sadly, I discover, we have no photos of Liza, but Martha, from Silver Fern, says she will email something to me in the fullness of time.
