Brittanie here, Kilikopela's vahine, and I just thought since my husband has done such a great job plugging my website here lately I'd let you know that I've posted pics of our recent trip. See our souvenirs here.

It was wonderful, and so much happened in three weeks that it's impossible to sum up in a few sentences, but I'll say this — the absolute best service we got was while staying at the Pension Fare Maeva. After seven days there, we felt like we were staying with friends instead of strangers. The aboslute worst service we got was at the $600-a-night over-water bungalow. We even got sick after eating the buffet there. It's nice for the ammenities but sometimes you don't get what you pay for.

The Aranui was really great — it's not in my nature to do "cattle herd" style tours with 200 other people, but there is simply no other way to see so much of the Marquesas for that little money in that short of time. The great thing about the Aranui is that their tour guides are pretty knowledgeable, and many of them are locals.

You can also read about our adventures in these posts.

Maruru,
Brit
