52 weeks, and what a wild ride it’s been. I’d like to thank each and every one of you for following along.
362 days, three major ocean crossings, and over 12,000 miles; this half of the world started in Ireland, and thus will end in Raiatea, Society Islands, French Polynesia.
The sunset streaks through the clouds
Palm trees line the road that wraps around the island
The deep green foliage of Taha’a contrasts sharply with the clear ocean blue
A hibiscus flower, widely common along French Polynesia’s volcanic islands from the Marquesas to the Societies
A water reservoir inland, with broad peaks in the background
Seeing where the path leads me
A friendly island dog comes out to greet me on my walk around Taha’a
Uniquely home to many vanilla producers, this island is peppered with small farms shaded by mesh from the harsh sunlight
One last, spectacular sunset to bid me farewell
