Easter Sat in Hiva Oa

At Paul Gauguin's tomb

View of Bay near Atuona
This Sat am is the only time anything will be open for 4 days so we woke up early to take advantage of the time. The laundry has been dropped off to be done. An island tour has been arranged for Mon. We visited the grocery store for depleted supplies.

A stop was made at the ATM for francs, the only currency accepted here. We knew from the Galapagos that the magnetic strip on Rob's debit card is shot. I can get $ from my account but it has a lower limit. Our plan is to get a new card mailed to the marina in Tahiti and to raise the limit on my card. But we were having a challenge talking on the sat phone and having it cut out. We'll work on that again tomorrow.

There is a museum here on Paul Gauguin which we spent some time in. It was very interesting.
