Tahiti (Part deux)

*Blogger is having issues with pictures. It is so frustrating. Takes the fun right out of blogging! That is why this post took so long. Also because it has so many pictures. Enjoy!

Tuesday

We went to a tomb of some king or chief. My dad would know. One thing about Tahiti, is there are dogs and chickens roaming around everywhere! And they are skiiiiiiny. Seriously, when I got home I just kept thinking the chickens are so fat here!

Ok, so this particular dog is not skinny, but most were. That tomb up there is made of coral. And there were banana trees all around.


Then we went to Venus Point. It's a really nice black sand beach.

 And then to a waterfall where I demanded that my parents kiss. They did, of course.

Cute!

Wednesday

So Wednesday we did the tour of the whole island, Tahiti, and the Tahiti-iti.(which is almost like a tiny island off of the mainland, but it's connected by an isthmus. I think.)

So first off we got this gorgeous view:

This is looking out to the main island from the plateau

This is where I stood too close to the edge of the rocks and slid down, nearly doing the splits. So graceful looking, I'm sure.

This looks like a scene from Apocalypse Now

Kids getting out of school

So many of them!

That was right after we ate lunch at this little place where I had an amazing salad, and realized I like goat cheese. It was sooooo good.

The next few pics are from the same place

This is a scene from one of Tahiti's gardens, famed for their gorgeous flowers... in the bathrooms.

Ew!

This is evidence of the waterfall I made my poor parents hike up to see. It was pretty steep!

Enlarge it if you want, but you can barely see it.

Giant Ferns!

They look like they could eat you!

There were trees like this all over, but this one was huge!

The branches grow roots!

That was my favorite place. The bathroom garden. 

We also went to the Paul Gauguin Museum (where we got eaten by mosquitoes) another waterfall, and some awesome grottoes. They were dark and kind of creepy, and cold, but so cool. And of course, there were chickens.

this one's a rooster

Alright! Part three coming up sometime soon!
