Huahine

"At 162 km north-west from Papeete (40 min. by plane), this leeward island has a surprising appearance.
Consituted from two volcanic masses, connected by a bridge, it's really incredible. Its two mountains Turi and Pu Huerei overlook its archaelogical outdoor museum and its beautiful lagoon.
Thanks to its magic, mysticism and wisdom, Huahine will certainly satisfy you "

We visit it from the North to the South

	Here's a maraé: a sacred building or a funeral site where were celebrated religious ceremonies.
A very nice hotel with bungalows on the beach ...
	... and its white sand beaches, the wonderful view, the sun, ...
keeping going down, or i would better say going up the mountain,you'll find an amazing panorama and you can clearly see the sea reef and the blues shading off into each other (because of the lagoon depth).
	Some houses, and a car park reserved to the boats.
On the South coast there's another wonderful hotel. We allowed ourselves to have a bath, a sunbath and to dive there. It was really nice.
	Some metres further, we can see a guy fishingwith a fishing net... a very good fish in prospect
