Put the Lime in the Coconut

This post goes out to Ethan Carrel. He said it was a must to drink a drink out of a coconut. Well we can now check that one off of our list. Enjoying the coconut drink at the Tiki Bar at our hotel. You can also see a picture of our bungalow on the bottom. The other picture in the group is the two bays that surround Papeete. Papeete is the capital city and one of the largest in the island chains. We are headed downtown right now to do a little shopping.

So today we took a tour around the island. Stopping at all sorts of points of interest. We also learned some history of the island including Captain Cook and the history of the Bounty. These are a few pictures of blooming flowers around the island. Also stopped at a local waterfall. If you look closely you can actually see us at the bottom. Tomorrow we are headed to town. Going to tour the pearl museum and markets downtown. Hoping Greg will let me come home with a famous Black Pearl.
