There is a busy yacht harbor as well as a commercial port with containers, container ships,
and the French Navy.
Then there is this ship, the Aranui 5 which is a combined, container/cruse ship that takes 14 day cruises in the Society and Marquesa Islands delivering goods while serving as a vacation vessel.
At the pier, we were given a traditional Tahitian greeting with music and flowers...then we walked to the world beyond; the city.
...and we were met with traffic...
Island dress is casual
...and shops. Notice the paint it is covered with mold. It's endemic in the topics as the climate is never dry. Mold is.
...but I really liked this man's fashion statement the best.
Papeete is a city with just about everything.
