It was just coming up to 14th July and the Heiva, a
festival of dance and song was on in the main village of Patio |
|
|
All the buildings around the dance floor had been
newly thatched
|
Draped from head to toe in white robes, this group of
singers wasn't quite what we expected but the harmonies were great
|
|

This was more like it - dancers in grass skirts but of
course they are moving too fast for my poor camera
|
This lad seems to have forgotten his trews
|

A band consisting entirely of percussion apart from a
solitary ukulele - think about that, Aurora
|
or a guitar-wielding shrubbery
|
|
|
More rain the next night but with our water-catching
tarp rigged we filled our tanks up again
|
Brio having a bit of a problem getting the anchor up
|

mate!
A large lump of coral jammed in the anchor |
after the calm of Tahaa, we're now going to brave the
holiday resort of
BORA BORA |
