The Marquesa's

Nuku Hiva March 28 --Our last port of call for this adventure provided an interesting panorama of terrain consisting of high peaks, valleys and spectacular contrasts. Ashore, we were greeted by native dancers who welcomed us and of course, friendly shop keepers who elicited our interest in their displayed wares.

Ken, Don and Linda took a two hour excursion over hill and dale for an over view of the island and the views of the bays below. The SURVIVOR television series filmed it's Marquesa series near Anaho, which is located on the other side of the island from our port of embarkation.

This island seemed a fitting memory to a trip that has provided a dramatic reminder of the versatility, beauty and culture of the South Pacific.

In the coming days, I plan to compose a summary of our trip with pictures and first hand observations of our adventure. Undoubtedly, it will be opinionated, somewhat self serving and maybe a little enlightened.
