Half way around - arrived Aukland

After spending 4 days on Easter Islands and having a really good time, I moved on to Tahiti. Just after arrival I took a 10 minute flight to reach the island Moorea just next to Tahiti. Moorea is like paradies. Beautiful beaches and palm trees all over the island. After 4 days on the island I was sick of the island and I especially hated the prices for everything and the mosquitos just liked me too much.

15 minutes of Internet cost 3 Euro, a bus goes maybe every 2 hours. A bottle of CocaCola is 4 Euro at a supermarket ! Like on Easter Islands I decided to do my own pasta every evening, because everthing is soooo expensive. I took one scubadive of 45 minutes and it was 60 euros. That money was well invested and before jumping from the dive boat you could see 10 little sharks around the boat. 15 Meters deep it got better and bigger and you could meet with Lemon Sharks 4-5 meters long !!!

Due to the high prices and mosquitos, I left Moorea to Tahiti, it gets slightly cheaper and the mosquitos are gone. Thanks to my travelagent I found an earlier flight leaving Tahiti to Aukland on 10.02.2008.

I did suround the world half way, crossed 12 time zones and the international date line !

I arrived Aukland 11.02.2008 and have to start all over new now, because I did only planned my trip in detail up to including South America. For New Zealand I bought a new guide book today and will start to investigate how to travel this island.
