2) Tahiti

Leaving Easter Island signalled the end of our South American adventure - and the last of trying to muggle though Spanish - and into French!!!

My plan for our 28 hours in Tahiti was to lie in the sun all day and then catch our flight onto Sydney, but Mother Nature was thinking otherwise...

We arrived late into Tahiti and were welcomed with temperatures of 27 degrees, ladies with Polynesian flowers and a tahitian group playing... wow, that was something else!

After getting to our room, we enjoyed the jacuzzi which was on the sundeck and planned the following 24 hours.

In the morning we were greated with dark skies and the warm humid weather changed to become not only thunderous but with lightning attached - this was loud and impressive!

Chris and I still managed to swim in the sea and the hotel's infinity pool and then spent the rest of the afternoon back in the jacuzzi. (it was a hard life) But at 2am we were on a flight taking us to Austrailia and the relaxation of the day seemed to disappear with the length of the flight.

We'd fun in Tahiti but I don't know if it's somewhere we'd come back to. There are places I'd love to explore further, but I don't think here would be high on that list.
