Day 2
This morning, we go on a city tour of Papeete. The market, ‘Le Marche’, is open very early in the morning in case anyone wants to go for a wander around before our tour. We have a free afternoon so we can head back on our bus to the hotel and relax, while taking in the spectacular views of Moorea, or why not stay in Papeete a bit longer, and make your own way back in time for dinner.
