After three weeks at sea any land
mass would have been a very welcome sight for the weary crew of Avalon. Our land
fast was broken by the dramatically lofty and deliciously lush mountains of
Hiva-Oa, one could not have asked for more. Our explorations of this sensuous
place has revealed a wondrous ancient culture proudly shared by a very warm and
gentle people.
The Tikis of Hiva Oa.The largest carved
statues of French Polynesia have stood silently for over 2000
years.
An ink well, carved into a temple, where the art of
tattoos began. Noni fruit, the latest super health fruit, providing
great income for the locals.
Hiva Oa, a suitably dramatic island to
celebrate Bec and Cathy's birthdays after 22 days at
sea!
