We arrived in Tahiti at 4.30am this morning - local time - having left London at 4pm yesterday (local time). In reality a cool 23 hours of travel - but we slept and ate well on the flights and so we were able to get straight down to the important business of enjoying ourselves! Matt kindly met us at the airport, with the obligatory lays - what a smell.
The girls were as usual massively excited to see Matt and Jenny, but we were able to steel them back to go snorkeling and exploring by RIB.

Our first discovery was the local sea slug - which Jo and Daisy found very funny (they spray out water when you pick them up out of the water).

We also popped out to one of the passes, where we found an incredibly reef break - with lots of surfers.

After lunch a little jet lag siesta was called for.....

Before we headed off for the fun-fair, and some excellent climbing by Ella!
