Tahiti Stop Adds Color to Pacific Voyage
The writer recalls a four day Tahiti visit during a Westward voyage to Samoa arriving Jan 24 in Pago Pago. In Papeete they tour the lagoon, modern streets, Venus Point and Bougainville Bay, sample rum punch and local foods, meet French officials and Legionnaires, and note Tahiti’s coral reef, markets, and circle drive around the island amid tropical abundance.
