Moorea

 We'd been before, so we got a tender to the main port, had a coffee, saw the Ukuleles and other music being played, and bought a T-shirt! Quite hot and sunny, and got back to the ship just in time for a light lunch and do the laundry!

Papeete Tahiti

 After some discussion, we remembered we'd been here before.  Firstly, a coffee and the market, then a wander around town, followed by some local beer and frites, before getting some bottled water and coffee for the machine in the cabin.

We crossed the Equator today

 Between Hawaii and Tahiti, the captain said we should have noticed the bump ...

Kona Island Hawaii

 This was a tender port - we saw some green turtles, ventured up to the rainforest, and finally stopped for a coffee break, where we tasted the local, expensive coffee.

Honolulu - different tours for us

We went on different tours this time!:

Helen went off to see Pearl Harbour and a coach tour around Hawaii.

Charles went to the Kamaka Ukulele factory, where he saw them being made on the 10:30 factory tour. He weakened and got a very nice Concert Ukulele (not really a bargain!). He then got on the shuttle and got several pills and potions at the local Target!!! And a Hawaiian shirt with Ukuleles ....
