Tahiti March 2001
Jul 01, 2003 07:49 PM Filed in: Photography | Travels
135 photos from our trip to Tahiti in 2001. What a wonderful place. Also known as the French Polynesian islands. We went there on a cruise which took us to 7 islands in 14 days. It was nice as we were basically on a floating hotel. But the cruise line itself sucked. This was the first time I used a Digital Camera (I bought a PhotoShot S100 just for this trip).
