Good morning (well it is here)all.
Arrived in Tahiti at 5.30am local time and managed (eventually!) to find a bus which took us to the port in Papeete (complete sh1t hole) and we then hopped on a ferry a small island called Mo-orea. Now before you all get the wrong impression.. its a nice place n all but its too damn expensive.. We got a dorm bed in a nice hostel called marks place..a shack in the middle of nowhere with a nice owner called (you guessed it!) MARK! Lots of big nippled dogs, leaf carrying crabs and mozzies! And worse of all.. no beaches (pol is not impressed!)
we therefore decided to depart on saturday to the cook islands where we hoped to find our fame and fortune (and maybe some cheap beer and a beach)

Hey you two!! Its great to read about your trip on here. Dad sent me some pictures of you before you left. My tummy is back to about normal now, but Ali I will always worry about you. Dave agrees the old motor has seen better days and we promise to try and get a better colour for you, one with power steering perhaps! Sarah has set a date for May 10th next year in Jamaica. So I guess you will not have to buy a new suit. polly I hope he is carrying the heavy ruck sack!!! Oh nearly forgot...you got a refund on your car insurance. I had to call them in India ha ha. They had only altered your address and not cancelled the policy. they had sent a revised premium for you to pay. Its sorted and I will put the cheque into you bank. It will buy a beer for you both. Look after yourselves.
