Au Revoir Moorea

January 4, 2020

Moorea to Tahiti

80 degrees, 75% humidity - per my weather app, it feels like it is 84 degrees

Stats: 17 baguettes devoured and counting.

Final day in paradise.  Breakfast and back to enjoy the bungalow before we had to move out. 

The kids and Andy went paddle boarding. 

Sitting here on the deck feels surreal.  We have been here for 9 days and still hard to believe. 

Checked out at 11:00 and chilling on the beach. Soaking up every last second of warmth and sun.









There were some Tahitians also vacationing.  They were listening to some really fun island music. 
We asked them and this is what is was.  

and in the pool until our 6:00 taxi to take us 15 minutes down the road for our 6:45 ferry.

We sat outside on the top where the air was warm and the sky was beautiful.  A great way to wrap up our stay on Moorea.


Slow ferry this time, so it took us 45-60 minutes to cross.

Once on the other side we had a 10 minute walk to a nearby park.  In the evenings a number of food trucks, tonight was about 7, pull up and completely set up the area with tables, chairs, lights and of course good food. 

Lots to choose from and was blown away by the selection.  Pages and pages in the menus.  You pick a table, they come over and take your order.  The place is packed an the thing that is amazing to me is you can sit at one table and eat at that truck, but if you order from another truck and sit at a random table they somehow find you and get the right food to you.  We had lots of stuff, spring rolls, tuna sashimi, Vietnamese pancakes, fried rice, steak and frites and the most amazing crepes ever!     

                                                         

Was kind of nervous about our hotel, but it was so convenient that we booked it.  The bonus is that it is across from the airport so you just walk over and when it is an early flight that's pretty sweet.  Flight isn't too terrible,  8:10 departure, but when we checked in the hotel reception told us we needed to be there three hours early! Andy did a little internet research and found if we don't have to check luggage, two hours is fine.  Still early for me, but the rude French chickens will have us up early anyways.  :-)
