Live Cruise Update: Trails of the Ancients in Moorea

Note: This week I'm blogging and tweeting live from the Society Islands in French Polynesia. We're sailing aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin from Paul Gauguin Cruises and will also enjoy overnight stays at the InterContinental Resort Tahiti and Le Meridien Bora Bora.

Yesterday was another magical day in French Polynesian. We embarked on a five-hour shore excursion with guest lecturer Mark Eddowes. It was a fantastic tour that took us across the island to Cook's Bay, Belvedere, and into the rain forest to see several sacred marae sites.

Here's just a bit of what we saw. More details to come when I have a chance to write up a full report.

Our transportation during this shore excursion.


A stop at the agricultural school, where visitors can buy
vanilla beans, coffee beans, jams, and ice cream.
