It was an uphill walk from the village to get to the
cemetery where Hiva Oa's more recent celebrities are buried - Paul Gauguin and
Jacques Brel.
A French sign and Polynesian
carving.
The well known (but not to us!) Belgian song
writer.
Paul Gauguin moved
here from France. A museum with replicas of his paintings is on the main
street
in the village.
More Polynesian carving.
