In Paradise
After the hectic time I had in Easter Island, I needed somewhere to calm down and chill out. And so I find myself at Moorea Camping.
French Polynesia is expensive. Really expensive. Really, really expensive. Especially after being in South America for a few months. I mean, 6quids an hour for the internet. They are having a laugh eh? Still, there are upsides.
The camping ground where I'm staying is about the cheapest place to stay on any of the islands. Moorea (an island just off Taihiti) is fabulously beautiful, and the campsite is just on the beach. So, when dining, I can survey the turquoise lagoon, study the breakers on the reef about half a mile distant, and listen to the distant roar of thunder from a nearby tropical storm.
Not much to do here really. Have to keep reminding myself that for some people this would be a holiday of a lifetime, but to me, it's really just a bit of time killing until I get to NZ. Or, more to the point, I know NZ is great and all, but it's just a bit of time killing until I see Iona. Next Sunday.
Woo! Yay!
