Moorea - French Polynesia

 

Pacific Ocean-French Polynesia-Moorea This is my second visit to Moorea. This was a short visit with 2 days/1 night. Took the ferry over from Tahiti . Its a beautiful island with some great beaches and warm crystal blue waters to swim in. 


I was on the west coast of the island , not next to a Post Office. So there was a yellow Post Box in use where the restaurants and shops were. Used a stamp from a miniature sheet.

Rairua, Austral Islands


 Pacific Ocean-Austral Islands-Raivavae-Rairua
This is a local purchased Postcard . The Post office itself had not cards. This was from one of the few shops on the islands. I always notice how close the clouds are nearer to you when you are in the tropics . 


This postmark has a clear mark showing the village of Rairua where the only Post office is on the island of Raivavae.

Tubuai - Austral Islands


Pacific Ocean-Austral Islands-Tubuai-Mataura  This is the main island in the group for administration. Unlike Raivavae there is a couple of restaurants here. Again some lovely scenery and is very quite tourist wise. 


The Post office here was much busier then the other island. I had very little time to spend in the Post office as my flight time changed to an earlier time and I only had about 10 minutes time.
