Back to school in Tahiti.

You can build robots as an after school hobby. How awesome is that.

On Saturday, more than 70 stands were set up in the alleyways surrounding the Cathedral of Papeete.

In this one area, parents could meet the associations offering a wide range of extra curricular school activities. Spoilt by choice, it must have been exciting yet difficult making enrolment decisions.

In my day, there wasn’t a lot on offer. I was a Girl Guide and a member of the swimming club.

Curious to find out more, I went along for a peek.

Dancing

Theatre

Music

I thought this was something to do with vampires! But it was for drum and percussion lessons.

Martial arts proved very popular.

Sports on land, not just football and golf.

Watersports

Scouts

Foreign languages

Japanese and Chinese classes.

Arts and crafts. I think the parents had as much fun as the kids.

Help if needed.

And of course sticky buns.

Having been a brownie, I had to buy some chocolate brownies of course. Delicious.

The Instructions

This week’s challenge, share a photo of liquid in whatever state, shape, or color you happen to capture it in.


The Pacific Ocean is a vast moody expanse of water. I love the textures, patterns and colours of the water that I see as I travel the lagoons of Tahiti and her sister islands.

Swirling currents.

A Playground for Watersports Lovers

Our daughter Vickey arrived in Tahiti on the Hawaiian airline flight. She had one thing in mind for her holiday relaxation… Surfing.

So we left the Papeete marina and motor sailed down to Vairao on Tahiti Iti where the serious surfers hang out.

It didn’t take long for Vickey to meet up with old surf friends and make new ones.


Whilst Vickey is out surfing, John takes his bicycle to the dock. Water provides our link to the land.

With the family off sporting, I enjoy capturing pictures of the water around me.
