A long off-Road path brought us to the center of  Tahiti’s caldera, to the Rock of Displacement.

      The path was cut 12 times by the river, no road bridges.

At the Marae of the Lower Valley we joined the student group from Hawaii on the holy rocks of the temple. During the ritual they performed, we were enlightened with Polynesian cosmology and mythology. The caldera walls were in front of us.

At the ritual end, we left the lower valley behind.

A long road was still in front of us.

We finally reached the village in the inner caldera at sunset.

Just in time to get a roof on our head, before the starry night made us blind
