Leaving Moorea

 

Whitecaps show the reef surrounding the island

We have the whole day at sea today and tomorrow, so the blog will be a little boring.  The days are mostly about food !  What have we eaten and what will we eat next ……  We have assigned dinner seating on this trip.  The ship is so small that there is only one dining room.  You either have assigned dining or go to the buffet.  We are at a table of six, and, luckily, our table-mates all speak English.  I say luckily, because a large percentage of the passengers speak nothing but French !  After all, this IS French Polynesia … There is a nice couple from Australia and another nice couple from Santa Rosa, CA.  at our table.  We  spent a lot of time sharing information about ourselves last night.  Reminded us of my mother !

I had the broiled barramundi for dinner and Craig had Tri Tip (of course, huh Michael?).  That was after we went to tea in the afternoon and had scones!  

Today was the Pub Lunch, with fish and chips and bangers and mash

The weather has been beautiful … not as hot and humid.  We have had some showers which passed quickly and even had a large rainbow.  Since the ship is smaller, we feel the ocean swells a little more, but it isn’t at all bad.
