"Tahiti, French polynesia" ?Posted by devon on Sunday, June 15, 2003
Ok, this big Island isnt so bad. I was having serious doubts, the capital, Papeete is a big giant shithole, but Ive been driven around for the past few days by a few londoners with funny accents and seeing what it has to offer. Doesnt add up to the marqueses, but its nice.
The run down is like this, since the last rondezvous, I have worked on a super yacht with a great crew, gotten way too inebreated at a dock party with beer flowing. Staying on a email friends boat. then, after the work was gone and our friend moved over to another anchorage, we checked into a hostel and met a bunch of great people there. The next day I went out and chilled at the beach where I regained some of my boat tan. Thank god for the french and their lax beach attire rules. Then yesterday, we had a crazy day out driving around playing in the surf, breaking open coconuts, swimming in waterfall pools (it was so beautiful!!!!!) and playing in the surf. At night we had a mock proper dinner ( pete had to eat out of a frisbee) and got loaded of cheap boxed wine. we ended up at the waterfront, playing guitar to a crowd of around 30 tahitians, and out of nowhere, one of the kids uncles showed up and put us all to shame. A bunch of them already had guitars and it was a proper drunken jam session. Such a blast.
The good news today is that while I was screwing around the island, Pete got us a place boat sitting, so now were stayign for free, and on a boat while we look for a boat, its just fantastic.
I just charged my battery for my camera, so I will upload the pictures shortly ( seriously ) .
Be prepared for ted.
