A short inter-island flight finds us on Manihi where transportation vehicles (read: two golf carts) are parked adjacent to the open-air airport (read: supports with a roof) next to the runway (read: airstrip).  These await arriving passengers and will shuttle them down the road (read: sandy track)to the smaller Manihi Pearl Resort, the only hotel here.

Once you get settled, relax on the beach or at the poolside bar with a cool drink. It’s very easy to meet other travelers at such a small, intimate place. Staff members may entertain guests with music, song and dance this evening. After dinner, stroll back to your fan-cooled beachfront bungalow.

There is an almost eerie solitude here at night – no air conditioners whirring, no external lights, only the sounds of the waves and the wind.

Ah, peace and quiet for a few days.
