Strolling through town on Sunday morning we found it very quiet, we hiked to the white cross which overlooks the bay and stopped at a small bar which seemed to be the only place opened. Some tourists who had just arrive by plane from Papeete came in and a kind gentlemen gave me his beautiful lay which I was admiring. Like a lot of these small villages there is an abundance of fruit, mangos, papayas, bananas, grapefruit, limes, and a lot others unknown to us. We found a large mango and grapefruit tree in an overgrown park. We picked a few and took them home to enjoy. Growing wild, the fruit on the islands is delicious. |
