Gambier Islands

One of the high peaks of the Gambiers

Tarawai.  Valerie and Herve live on this island and welcome cruisers each Sunday for a b'que there..  

A basket of fruit from the islands.

We checked in to the islands and then we were free to explore the town of Rikitea.  A small village where all the locals are pearl farmers and have done rather well.  They are very friendly and helpful, but do not grow much on the island and rely on the supply ship for all their fruit and vegetables.

A pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, maybe just quite a lot of yellow canvas!

Another good evening on 'No Rehearsal'!  We met some great cruisers in Rikitea.

Lush Gambier Islands.
