Now exploring the smaller Society islands after checking out with customs, immigration etc in Papeete.
First stop was 108 miles from Papeete, Huahine island. We kayaked in the bay behind the reef, which is great, its very protected calm & shallow, so we can see the reef fish from the kayaks.
Our boat neighbours on "Venture" hired a car drove around the island for a few hours, they still had time left on the rental ,so they very kindly lent us the car, off we zoomed to see all the sights. Its a small island & we drove around it all in 2 hours.
It was weird to drive a car we haven't done that for a while!
Next Raiatea, spent Sunday, Fathers day cycling around the island, kept stopping at the churches to hear the beautiful Polynesian hymns the men & womens voices were harmonised, all the women were wearing white dresses, it was lovely. After all the churches we stopped off at a hotel, and watched some dancing & drumming entertainment, & had a couple of well earned beers after the 45k cycle.
