01/27 – Papeete, Tahiti, Society Islands, French Polynesia

Papeete (meaning “water from a basket”) is the capital of French Polynesia located on the island of Tahiti, in the administrative subdivision of the Windward Islands.  It is the primary center of Tahitian and French Polynesian public and private governmental, commercial, industrial and financial services, the hub of French Polynesian tourism and a commonly used port of call for tourism.¹
We didn’t do much here, just wandered around the little town, browsed the open air market and did a lot of people watching.
