Maupiti Part 2

A few more views as we motored down to the village.

Iron Lady anchored off the village (always have to fit at least one shot of her in).

Kim, Deb and I were off to town for a quick walkabout.

Maupiti is truly a garden isle. Flowers and fruits were everywhere.

And back to the boat – the only restaurant open to us was only open for lunch. The view, however, was quite nice front he back deck.

Sunday morning it was off to church. We were told the singing as exceptional and they were right. I recorded some video of the service and hope to get it posted up on YouTube – will let you know if I am successful as it is marvelous to hear.

We were greater with Leas made from Tiari flowers – a type of gardenia with a just a wonderful smell.

The chancel was beautiful and the view out the window was pretty special as well.

One of the locals in her Sunday finest.

The afternoon was filled with snorkeling and walking around town.

It is common for folks to have the graves of their relatives in their front yards.

Lunch at the local restaurant was fresh Mahi Mahi Seviche – wonderful – and Iron Lady was just off shore.

Plans for the next day included a bike ride around the entire island. More on that in m next post.
