That view never gets old. This is one of the infinity pools at the Intercontinental Resort Tahiti. I could sit there all day ... oh, I did on this last trip while waiting to go board the Paul Gauguin. I must say for most the inclusive arrangements on your Paul Gauguin cruise is a nice way to go, that includes a place to hang while you wait to board or after debarkation. The IC Tahiti is just one choice you can choose from.

Yes, it went from about 100 to much cooler when the clouds came in around 4 pm here in Laguna. Made it nice as I played tennis at 6 pm.
