Returning to Mo'orea

We disembark from the Star Breeze in Papeete, Tahiti after our two-week cruise around three of the five archipelagos in French Polynesia and walk two blocks to the ferry terminal to catch a ferry back to Mo'orea for a few days.

While we wait for our ferry, we watch other ferries load up with everything that might be needed on their destination islands, including, food, building material, and landscape supplies,

Heading out

Soon, our ferry departs and we sit back for the short ride across the channel to Vaiare, Mo'orea.

We rent a car at the ferry terminal in Vaiare and drive over to the Manava Moorea, near Cook's Bay, where we were anchored the day previously on our cruise.

After settling in, we wander down the street looking for lunch and stop at the Moorea Beach Café (Veuve Cliquot Bar), where we sit on the water and enjoy shrimp pizza and prosciutto pizza.

Pizza, pizza

At the end of the day, we watch the sun set over our bungalow and enjoy the beauty, serenity, and peace of this wonderful spot.

Another day in paradise!
