Here are some >tips for anyone planning to visit there (particularly the main island): I was there 2 years ago, and basically agree with you. I have a few more tips to add. >Other eats: In the evening the cheapest dinner is down at the waterfront. There are 20 odd trucks and vans selling cooked food. Some of it is cafeteria quality, but some is *VERY* good. My favorite was the Chocolate Grand Marnier crepes; I had 4 one evening (from different trucks); 3 were just good, the 4th was superb. > If you're a soft-drink freak, try the Ananas (pineapple) soda. It was the favorite in our group. > There is a regular passenger ferry service from Papeete to Moorea. For about twice(?) the cost of the ferry, you can fly a small plane either way. >Special considerations: Don't expect anything like Hawaii or the Caribean - the style in Tahiti is very different. For example, there are more hotel rooms in the Waikiki Hilton than there are in all of French Polynesia. It isn't crawling with tourists, nor is Tahiti run with tourism in mind. But it is a superb place to just relax. -- +--------------------------------+ | uucp: decvax!linus!alliant!tj | +--------------------------------+ Bernese are mountains of love.
