After the excitement of airplanes we spent a few days back in Tahiti preparing for Christmas and New Year, shipping wine, ordering oysters and mussels for the holidays....
.....we also discovered that Tahiti also has a good selection of playgrounds and they also have fruit yoghurt, almost as good as in NZ!
Rurutu is an island in French Polynesia (Tahiti), Austral Islands, it's been my home since September 2007. I run a guesthouse here with my husband, who is from Rurutu. It's a long way for a Welsh-girl to have come, but I'm enjoying my new life here in Rurutu.....

Rurutu
Our island is a tiny speck in the middle of the Pacific ocean, ~560 km south of Tahiti (22.5degS, 151.3degW), with nothing much between us and the Antarctic. There are ~2200 inhabitants. We're best known for the humpback whales that breed off our fringing reef, between July and October. The island is an ideal sheltered spot for females and their newborn calves to rest and grow, before they make the long journey back to their Antarctic feeding grounds. The whales hang-out just outside the reef, and you can see them easily from the shore - it's pretty magical!
