Crossed the International Dateline so got to do Wednesday all over again. Tahiti was rainy and overcast when we arrived at 6:30am. We found a hotel and rented a car. Everything is expensive. Our hotel was the cheapest we could find - $12 – and it is a 10 minute walk to the water. Rain cleared for a few minutes so we drove around the island. It took all day, stopping to look at hotels. The heavy rain didn’t make for good photography. Rivers from the interior were overrunning their beds. We saw a lovely sunset from the top of the Transcontinental Hotel.
In the evening we had an expensive pizza dinner. No sign of Tahitian food; must be French food. Afterwards we went to the Beachcomber Travel Lodge for a Tahitian dancing show. It was very professional and entertaining: grass skirts, flower head dresses and necklaces and two strategically placed shiny black coconut hulls. Bryan observed that coconuts do come in different sizes.
