| Moorea |
| Left - In all the ports, we were greeted by musicians. Beautiful people and music. This is Moorea. Right - Take a good look at the different blue hues of the water. In person the colors are even more distinguishable. They go from transparent to the darkest blue I have ever seen! |

April 19, 2020 - I began cleaning out my closets a while back since I decided to rent the small room of my apartment to a friend. I had to shift things around which had been stored in the closets to make space. In so doing, I decided to get rid of the many photo albums I had stored in the foyer closet. Damn, I did not know I had that many photo albums. Before shredding the photos/postcards and souvenirs, I looked at them and decided to keep a few. I will post what I saved and scanned on various pages. Some photos and postcards may be posted on other pages. Everything posted will be as scanned without adjusting the photo for color, clarity, etc. What you see is what you get. Watermark will not be added. No kallaloo here, just simplicity. Below are the photos/postcards/souvenirs being added. Keep in mind, some may be duplicates. Enjoy!!! |

Postage from Australia, Fiji, French Polynesia, and New Zealand. The ship never made it to New Zealand. Where I purchased these I cannot recall. Could they have been sold on the ship? |
