Tahiti - Papeete

 


After 5 days @ sea we arrived in Papeete, French Polynesia. The weather was not kind to us, raining & most unpleasant. Bob watching us sail into port

 


 


Local band greeted us on the wharf, playing hip swaying music

 


 


Locals having jam session on corner of the street in town

 


 


Main market in centre of town.

 


 


 


 


 


Notre Dame cathedral

 




 


Never seen this before, this chap takes his push bike into the cathedral before he starts praying at the "Blessed Virgin statue"

 


 


Papeete was very disappointing, very run down. What I call "Faded colonial"

 


 


Another local joining in on the fun
