Tahiti

We're about half way round Taihiti now, in the part that has no road round the coast. The steep slopes drop straight down into the water, an impressive coast to sail round. Position 17 48 568 S and 149 07 673 W. There are a few houses right on the water's edge here, and a sort of path connecting them and the small coconut plantations, but all transport is by boat - the kids have an hours journey each way to school by boat then bus. Amazing that such a remote area exists so close to Papeete, but not surprising when you see the terrain.
