Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

Thanks for the tip, I'll put it on my playlist for my next trip, it'll be a cool change from Rammstein. :D

But other than that, I occasionally listened to the soundtrack to the perfect BBC documentary, "South Pacific", by David Mitcham.

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

Thanks for the reading & your feedback (-: Tikehau was such a nice surprise, I mean, I knew that I would like it, but haven't expected that it'll match almost all of my preferences (-: I'd love to see it again, preferably with the reef shoes on :lol: That place was really magic. Sometimes I've b...

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

In conclusion, French Polynesia was a bit of a dream of mine and I'm so glad I was able to come here. I loved every island I visited. I saw and experienced a lot of things and met a lot of great people, both among Polynesians and other tourists. I certainly didn't leave with the feeling that I misse...

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

Last few photos from the journey back. I just had to try McDonald's in Tahiti. :lol: Finally had the time when I was waiting for my international flight. https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230515_044329283bdk5.jpg I took a bit of a risk and scheduled the departure from Fakarava for the same day as the even...

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

Check out & check in and it was time to return home after three weeks. On the way back I didn't have any long layover with an overnight stay in a hotel, so I was looking at some 22 hours on the plane, not counting the layover time. Basically, I left the guesthouse on Sunday around 14:00 and arri...

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

By the way, I booked my accommodation about six months before departure, and it was no problem to find something nice, well located and relatively reasonably priced on any of the islands. With the exception of Fakarava. That was the only place where I felt I needed to make bookings even further in a...

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

One of the reasons why I chose Fakarava Atoll was that I expected it to be the most "off the radar" of all the places I chose. I was aware that as a non-diver I miss the main attractions (for most people), but that didn't bother me so much, such places are more about the overall atmosphere...

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

Yes, finally, I've been able to take a decent photo (-: I mean, saw lot of them, mainly around the motus to the east of Tuharehera, but, they were gone before I was able to fish out my phone from the backpack.

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

But what I liked the most was kayaking in the lagoon, around the small motus and admiring all the shades of blue. Except for one morning when the sky was overcast with a brief shower, the weather was great - no wind and clear skies. I never met anyone on the small motus east of Tuherahera. Except wh...

The main road leading to the centre of the motu Tuherahera, where the village of the same name is located. https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230508_0321027ctdv6.jpeg One of the local supermarkets.

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

First of all, I'd like to apologize for the delay, I've got a couple of projects that I needed to finish, so I had to redirect all my capacity to that... :( I was sure I wanted to visit Fakarava. And since I had the opportunity to visit a total of three islands in the Tuamotu area, I thought it wou...

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

Checked some photos from the plane and it doesn't look that way... Looking at Wiki... Tikehau Airport is an airport on Tikehau atoll in French Polynesia (IATA: TIH, ICAO: NTGC). The airport is located 1 km southeast of Tuherahera. It was inaugurated in 1977. In 2009, 41,817 passengers transited thro...

Re: French Polynesia in April/May 2023 (Travelogue in English)

I was sad that as an EU citizen I did not get my passport stamped when I entered French Polynesia...

However, then we found out that you can lend a stamp at local airports... :mrgreen:
