ktravers > This was the house band for the evening- they were fantastic!  The fellow in the center drives the dive boat for the Te Ava Nui dive operation.  They had a great sound, and were the perfect accompaniment to a St. Valentines Day dinner in French Polynesia.
ktravers > The band plays on, a perfect memory of our last evening on Fakarava.  It's on to Rangiroa after this!
ktravers > Storm-lashed beach.
ktravers > The thrill is gone, and the love affair with the Chocolate Heart is over.  It's all a bit messy, and Vlad doesn't feel so well.  Thank goodness there's a pretty Tahitian waitress ready to make it all go away.
ktravers > From shore the cheerful watch–cry of cocks rang out at intervals above the organ–point of surf. And the thought of this depopulated capital, this protracted thread of annular island with its crest of coco–palms and fringe of breakers, and that tranquil inland sea that stretched before me till it touched the stars, ran in my head for hours with delight. -R.L. Stevenson, In the South Seas, Fakarava: An Atoll at Hand.
ktravers > The weather was changeable, with equal parts sun and storm.  Here, Vlad takes advantage of some nice weather to take a run down the islands road.  This is the extent of the traffic one experiences.  The road is currently unpaved, though that is changing with an impending visit from French president, Jacques Chirac.  They are in the process of paving a portion of the road right now.
ktravers > This "Chocolate Heart for 2" was the finale to the Maitai's Valentines dinner menu.  Vlad digs in with a zeal not unlike that of the thrill of a new love affair.
ktravers > Karin takes a tour round a portion of the atoll on one of the beach cruisers provided by the hotel.
ktravers > Storm's abrewing again.
