    Every now and again you need to take a holiday from
your holiday. A week with George's parents in Moorea broke the usual
routine of boat life. We could not
asked for a more beautiful island to play tourists on.
From the crystal clean waters of the lagoon to the jagged peaks Moorea was always a feast for eyes.
The church above is the oldest building in the South
Pacific and since the days of Captain Cook, who anchored here, the
Moorean lifestyle has been under
attack from European ways. Today the population are
mixing the influences of their past to live what may appear from the outside to
be the perfect island life.
  
Coral reef meets French cuisine allowing visitors
to indulge all senses. (sometimes at once)
     Life on shore is not that different
from the boat except the beer is cold, the fresh water is hot and endless
and there is so much room to move.
