Preliminary views of Tahiti, in my opinion were "amazing." Shame it didnt last. After getting on the boat to the neighbouring island of moorea.. which was great fun (with some fantastic views) we met, by a stroke of luck, our host " Mark" from Marks paradise. He "Kindly" offered to give us a lift to our "prebooked" accomodation in his beaten up four by four. He took us to his equally beaten up shack. And when i say equally, i mean it..The "Shed" was coming out of the bottom of a tree, which in first light seemed ok... but when night came, all manner of creepy crawly type things emerged to play.
Nuff said about the accomodation. The Island of Moorea was "BORING" to say the least... i thoroughly recommend no-one goes there unless you have a sheraton gold card with gazillions of pounds in t'bank.
However in defense of the good citizens of Tahiti they were without a doubt the nicest people we have ever met. And close your ears now mother.... We HITCH-HIKED from the shed to the ferry port as there were no buses and we were damned if we were paying Mark to take us back there. This leads me on the Bill we received from the lovely Mark. The nice convenient lift he had offered, did in fact cost us 1000 cfp's.. which is about 6 pounds... wouldnt have minded if he had mentioned this at the ferry port, but he didnt so we were miffed to say the least.

We have decided to start a little game called "Who Gets Bitten The Most" present, it is 3-0 polly and every time we write, we will update for your viewing pleasure... Time to go as we only have 12 mins internet left... prelim views on Rarotonga are...

"TOP BANANA"

P.S... Ali agrees.

Can you get me Mark's phone number - does he know anything about the airline industry - not that it matters really. I like his marketing and sales techniques... I guess we'll see him soon on TV in Rogue Traders !
