Papeete, Tahiti
November 10, 2011
Think of any superlative ~ beautiful, stunning,
magnificent, spectacular and you’ll just begin to describe Tahiti, that island
paradise countless have written of and even more have dreamed about.
The island of Tahiti (all 404 square miles) is large
and proud, towering over the ocean like a royal Queen crowned with a circle of
majestic peaks. The mountainous interior
shelters deep valleys, clear streams & high waterfalls, all bathed in green
iridescence of Mother Natures light.
The flat coastal lands, edged with a rugged
coastline, are home to fields of tropical flowers and the most of the island’s
population. Papeete, the invigorating
capital city and gateway of the territory, boasts world-class resorts, spas,
fine restaurants, nightclubs, and endless shopping at the vibrant markets,
pearl shops and boutiques.
