Tahiti, 2025, Day 5

I mean, cmon. The sky was just on fire this morning. We sat out on Vicki and Darryl’s dock watching a mild sunrise turn into what you see above. Here’s how it started:

And then…

Nice way to start the morning. Breakfast was at the resort and equal to yesterday’s with good pastries, egg and cheeses. I mixed a little pineapple juice with sparkling water. 😋

We drive back to the ferry area and my up with Vicki and Darryl to do a little shopping and get D&M’s Tahitian Pearl bracelets resized. In case you’ve missed mine, here it is again. With bacon bugle fingers. Because I’m fancy.

We grabbed a bite and took it back to the resort. Fish-burger for me (nothing to write home about) and fried shrimp for Mike.

After a nap we grabbed a couple of kayaks and rowed around the bungalows. There was a decent downpour the moment we got out on the water but it only lasted for 5 or so minutes. Since it was overcast and we were wet it was a nice and cool adventure paddling around.

We paddled around for a while and then decided to go snorkeling. It’s great now that Vicki and Darryl have moved out to the overwater bungalows so we can kayak or snorkel over to them and bug them from the water.

I had to knock out a little work yesterday and today (run payroll and create a flyer) so I sat out on the balcony for a bit doing work. Not a bad temporary office.

We’ve been in bed between 7:30pm and 8:30pm every night and I can’t imagine tonight will be any different. We are just eating some snacks we picked up for dinner.

The horizon is too cloudy for a good sunset this evening. That’s fine. It’d be hard to beat the sunrise this AM.
