Very relaxed but now thoroughly bored we escaped from Tahiti and caught the ferry to its neighboring island Moorea. The ferry only takes 30-45 mins depending on which one you catch, after a few G&T's last night we caught the slow one by mistake.

On arrival we hired a car, which strangely was cheaper than a couple of rounds of drinks in Papeete, then headed off round the island. First off all stopping off at the beach below. There were some very beautiful Marine fish but without a mask and snorkel it got a little difficult to see exactly what was lurking below us as we ventured out. As a result we ran screaming back to the beach when something large and dark started moving towards us. On reflection we think it could have been a rock as it probably wasn't moving at all.
The island is only 60km in diameter so it doesn't take long to drive around, we did stop off at Belvedere from which you can see two of the Islands bays.
