Mo’orea, French Polynesia
We are playing catch up as internet was very sketchy while we were in the middle of the Pacific. We occasionally picked up e-mail, but loading photos to blogs and then posting them was beyond the bandwidth.
So . . . Here's number one. We'll also add Tahiti soon, as well as a current one on our sea days to New Zealand.
Today we
arrived in Mo’orea. Shortly after getting up, we looked forward (towards the
front of our ship) to see an amazing site. Another WOW. Like Bora Bora, we are
anticipating rain. In the early morning, after we were at anchor the sun was
out and we were all encouraged.
Our boat ride today is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. We were to meet in the Star Theater to wait until our tender was ready for us. We were called and headed to the embarkation point, then ended up standing in the stairwell for quite some time. We were advised there was a mechanical issue with one of the tenders, and they were bringing another one around.
As we boarded the tender, we were met with rain. By the time we got to shore, visibility was limited. We were told the morning excursions had all been cancelled. We had an option of getting off the tender and wandering around in the village, or returning to the ship. We returned to the ship. The rain continued off and on for the remainder of the day.
We enjoyed another “Chef’s Table” dinner tonight. “A Gastronomic Journey Through Time”.
1st course: Roman Empire Delicacy – romaine and cucumber with goat cheese mousse. Not something I would seek out again, but not bad.
2nd course: Gallic Oxtail Consommé – beautifully presented and wonderful.
3rd course: Granita to cleanse the palette. Vodka, mint and mixed berries in a slushie with lemon foam on top. Delicious
Lamb Filet. Melt in your mouth
tender and beautifully seasoned
and cooked.
5th course: 21st Century Nut Brownie with pistachio ice cream.
We are heading
to Papeete, Tahiti tonight after everyone is back on board. So we’ll wake up to
another island.
