Cyndi and Rich aboard Legacy
June 12, 2012
Today we left Taiohae Bay and traveled west to one of Nuku Hiva’s most beautiful anchorages, Daniel’s Bay. After winding into the bay’s entrance and dropping the anchor, it looked like we were landlocked in a small lake. This is where the trail to the world’s third highest waterfall starts. What an incredible hike! Pictures of that to follow. For now, here are some of the bay. -Rich

We dropped by the Dutch boat we’d seen in Hiva Oa to say hello. He was in the water and we warned him that there are lots of sharks in the bay. “Don’t worry, I won’t hurt them” was his response. Just thought we’d share that. -Rich

Can you believe it? We sail 3000 miles to a chain of tiny, remote, tropical islands and what do we do? Eat pizza!
This was in Hiva Oa and what great pizza it was! Three cheese pizza. We’ve also been eating a lot of poisson cru – that’s raw fish in French. It’s served coconut milk sauce with lots of great vegetables. This is fine dining establishment (tent) where we’ve been getting our raw fish fix in Nuku Hiva…
And this is what it looks like when served with rice.
Yum!

Here, a few more photos of Taiohae.
Seems you can’t escape parking lot congestion, no matter where you go!

OK, maybe this is getting to be a bit of a habit. This time at the Pearl Ridge Lodge in Nuku Hiva. It’s owned by the same company as the hotel we visited in Hiva Oa. For the price of a couple of drinks, you can use the pool. Nice!
