DAY 20, LEG 83 - Hao to Papeete
The next leg takes us to the French Polynesian capital city, Papeete, on the island of Tahiti. Papeete airport is the base for Air Tahiti Nui and Air Tahiti and connects most of the Polynesian airports to the rest of the world. Tahiti's population accounts for over 60% of the total population of French Polynesia and is significantly the biggest island in the chain. Our plan is to stop in Bora Bora for the night but need to clear customs in Tahiti having visited non-customs airports up to now. Having handed the paperwork to the officials in Papeete, we will head off for Bora Bora.
