SATURDAY 17th APRIL
2010 " Rangiroa "
07.00hrs Another beautifull day in
paradise,
09.30hrs, we went ashore and were collected at the
pier and brought to the Hotel again, this time to collect
the buggies we had to leave there last
night.
A & S went into the Village and collected some
really flowery tops we had made up ,
If we painted the skin copper, we would look like
the locals. but we had great fun and the people were very friendly.
13.00hrs We had lunch ( chicken wings ) in
the hotel once more, after lunch the skipper got on
the hotel wifi while Aileen went for some
bathing.
14.00hrs we changed the buggy for a regular car
with a /c, things are improving.
Later we called to the " Top Dive Center" and
booked diving lessons for Donal and Skipper for tomorrow morning at
10.00hrs
We also checked out the time of Mass also for
tomorrow morning,, ( 09.00hrs )
We returned to the boat and relaxed before
dinner,
S & D joined the other crew's for dinner in the
" Ralais Josephine " for Dinner,
Aileen decided to stay on the boat as dinner was a
fixed menue of crab and lobster and they do not agree with her
arthritis.
The dinner wes very good and the ambience
excellent, but the bill was astronomical,We could hired ABBA for the
price.
A complete rip off. Feckin
langers,
And another thing, the main waitress / waiter was a
man dressed up as a doll, thongs and all, feck , whats this all about
!
in fact we saw lots of these gays or whatever they
are, all dressed as women al over the place.........
It turns out that its part of the culture
here..
In the olden days, Historically, the third male in
all familys was was eaten by the tribes as a sacrifice to the Gods,
So , to get around this problem, the families
brought up the 3rd son as a girl, and the tradition still survives
today,
Ohhhhhh , grab that boy, ooops I mean love
! oh what the hell , who knows whats going on these days
?
Ahhhhh , thats it for
today..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
