We had two days with a little rough water. Today we are in Mangareva. The biggest island in the Marquesas Islands. Hard to get in here, the ship has to time it perfectly to enter the lagoon. If he cannot get in it is a six mile zodiac ride.

Fortunately he managed to get into the lagoon. It was a little rough and windy. Pictures follow.
The traditional greeting dance


The church was the highlight. Full of “ mother of pearl”. Pictures tell the story






A tree of lychee’s. I love lychees.



This was the Queens bath tub


The locals put out a huge spread for the ships guests.
