Papeete, last day

On our last day, after disembarking, we did the usual tourist thing, like shopping for souvenirs . . .
. . . photograhing the "Hotel de Ville" (Town Hall)

. . . shopping for Tahitian pearls . . .


and watching the local buskers.


We visited the "le roulottes", the open-air food market, had a Chinese meal with baguettes . . .


. . . and watched sadly as the Paul Gauguin sailed off on its next journey without us !

Early the following morning, we were on our way home.
