Tahiti

by Marc on April 15, 2009

We didn’t originally plan to visit Tahiti, but there was no way to get from Rapa Nui to Auckland without at least a 2-night stop here.

Tahiti is crazy expensive – even the 15-minute cab ride from the airport to our hotel was over $50 US.

We decided to just embrace it, and booked our 2 nights in the Radisson. Our luxe balcony room overlooked a gorgeous black sand beach:

Besides a really expensive restaurant, the resort had a great pool,

and very nice sunset views, too.

We ate as little as possible, but still spent as much as we would have in a whole week in South America. That was a little hard to swallow (pardon the pun), but we had a nice day there.

Maybe we’ll come back someday, when we have a lot more money!

Well all I can say is that one way to go on a diet . This place must be very good to look at and quiet to huh?

Very pretty, but I won’t be going there – unless I win a trip, of course!

Wow! Tahiti on the list too but way to expensive. I’m a long way from being able to afford that one. Nice black sand beach and beautiful sunset pics.
