Huahine, dubbed "the wild one" of the Society Islands (or "the authentic one", depending on your source), has the least tourist development and is indeed the most mellow. If weather hadn't impacted our itinerary--which, of course, it must--we would have relaxed far longer in those serene anchorages.
 |
| On a trail in the jungle, we came across flora both large... |
 |
| ...and small |
 |
| Marae Anini: beautifully preserved, |
 |
| and decorated along the entrance with strands of seashells |
Slices of a laid-back life:
 |
| Fare, the main village on Huahine |
 |
| A family having an afternoon swim |
 |
| FP's signature dish, poisson cru-- raw fish marinated in lemon juice and coconut milk, with local vegetables-- at a street food stand |
 |
| FP has surprisingly few sand beaches, and most of them are owned by resorts. Huahine's beaches are public; few people are there, but one evening we did spot a beach bum. |
