Our plane doesn't leave for Tahiti Nui until 5 pm so we're stuck at the lodge until 4 when our taxi picks us up. We had to check out of our room at noon so now we're just loitering around the lobby, inhaling French people cigarette smoke. Disgusting. Perhaps I'll order an alcoholic tropical drink? I'm 25% done with the horrendous suburban housewife novel. We could play cards but it's much too windy.
Our place in Tahiti Nui isn't anything fancy. Another perfunctory place to lay our heads. Tomorrow we're planning on messing around in Papeete. Maybe I'll find some sort of knick knack souvenir.
2 more days.
was your stay in paradise a bit too long? i was reading about the archeological sites there. did you ever get a chance to see them?
ReplyDeleteReading of more quakes in the South Pacific! Come home safe!
ReplyDeleteSomething about the phrase "Godforsaken island" just feels right. I can't wait until I see you next (as a resident of the bay area) and get the first-hand about your wedding and this Tahitian too-long honeymoon.
