Pape'ete, French Polynesia

We were only in Pape'ete about 12 hours but man, the Intercontinental was an incredible introduction to the islands. Henri got his lei...well, he actually got two!


We had breakfast at the hotel and this was our view from the open seating are.  Incredible!


This fruit fascinated me.  Really interesting flavor, quite tasty, even if the texture was kind of snotty.  I was surprise to NOT see it served again on any of the other islands. 


The Intercontinental has an amazing view, of course.  That's Moorea in the distance, where we were headed next!
 

A final picture from reception at the hotel.  Yup, we only stayed a short time, but when we arrived at 11:00 pm, we took an evening swim.  It was glorious!
