Wednesday 8th October, 2014 - Moore'a, French Polynesia

We were up at 6 this morning, both to watch the entry through the reef to Moorea and because, on the spur of the moment last night, we had decided to book an excursion which happened to start at 7.45am.
We had been going to just go ashore and wander but were told we'd miss all the sights, so on the premise we won't be back again and should see as much as possible, we booked.
Thankfully the bus this time was air conditioned!. First we went to some lookout up a road that seriously rivalled the Amuri ski road - some very freaked-out passengers on board as we negotiated hairpin bends. Great view at the top, but sadly overcast so the colours were reduced. The bus then trundled right round the island with various stops. Amazing vistas all around, including Bali H'ai ("South Pacific" again) and some of the famous hotels with rooms over the sea.
We left Moorea at 4.30 and should be in Papeete by 8pm tonight.
