Day 1 in Tahiti

We arrived in Pape’ete at 5am after sleeping (or trying to sleep) most of the way on our flight from LA. 

We took turns getting our “Welcome to Tahiti “ pictures with our friends Bill & Lynne from Chicago. 

We saw several bikes during our bus ride from the airport to the hotel. I’ve included a blurry one showing a parent with their two small children on the back. Remember that this is around 6am in the morning. 

The main goal for the rest of the day was staying awake. We walked around Pape’ete and saw the market and also walked over to a nice park along the water. 

We found these new friends (the snails) on our afternoon walk after a brief shower.
