Photos 2 of Huahine (....eels)
We arrived early in the morning so we could position ourselves
for the Eclipse. The sunrise did not look promising as the cloud cover was
rolling in fast. We stayed out far enough so the cloud cover didn’t
affect us as much as it would have if we were at anchor. Huahine is a quiet little town with lots of airstream
trailers being used as restaurants. We rented a car and toured the island. Our first stop was at a Marae, these are places erected by
the people reserved for ceremonial activity, social and religious. They are
rectangular in shape and at one end there is a platform or ahu with upright
stones. I have included the information they have at the sites
– much easier to zoom in and read what you want rather than have me
rambling on and trying to describe all of this to you without drawings! |
