Fortunately for us we arrived in Papeete after 1 October, the beginning of the “low” season for berthing charges here at the Papeete Quai Des Yachts. The charge, including the 10% tax, is 1818 fcp per day, plus a one-off charge of 1000 fcp for the garbage service. That translates roughly to $30 AUD or $20 USD per day, plus the trivial garbage charge. That's cheaper than what I was paying in Adelaide and outstanding value particularly given all of the advantages of the central location.
Today was a holiday in Fr Polynesia, being Armistice Day, 11 November. Brenda and I went to the public beach in front of the Sofitel Hotel, a bus ride up the road. The hotel grounds are private but the beach is public. One of the attached photos shows how the locals get to the beach by walking along the ledge of a wall at the water front. The other photos show the beach scenes, with Brenda in some of them. The thatched roofs in the distance represent part of the International hotel resort. The island in the background is of course Moorea.
