Rangiroa Atoll, Tuomoto Islands, French Polynesia

---

Not a lot to say really; paradise is paradise and can become quite boring second time around.
We repeated our mile and a half walk from the tender jetty, this time to find no towels as our fellow travellers were taking three and four apiece. So we had to wait 40 minutes - having deliberately delayed our departure because of the long day and little to do - before we could ensconce ourselves on the beach. Usual excellent bbq but this time we elected to take a direct boat ride back to the ship rather than walk.
So as not to appear too disgruntled, nay churlish, this would have been a good day for the SCUBA brigade or those minded to pay an arm and a leg to visit the neighbouring Kia Ora Hotel Resort. An OK day for us, but nothing to write home about, but don't bother coming to French Polynesia unless you're ready to burn $1,000 a night for a double room!
Lovely sunset as we left the Tuomoto Islands on route to The Society Islands.
