Day 23 - Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia

World Cruise 2013
January 27, 2013

Today the ship was docked at Papeete at 7 AM.  I took a tour called "Tahiti: Around the Island".
Papeete is the capital of French Polynesia located on the island of Tahiti in the administrative subdivision of the Wndward Islands.  The area that now constitutes Papeete was first settled by the British missionary William Crook of the London Missionary Society in 1818.  It is famous for beautiful beaches, pearls and delicious tropical fruits.

Below are some pictures that I took from the ship and from my tour of the island.
