Yesterday morning driving from Arue along the northern coast and down the eastern coast to Taravao<\/a> took us exactly 50 minutes. We were headed for Faratea — situated just before the town of Taravao if coming down the east coast — where local motor clubs had organised a drag racing day event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With forty participating drivers and many cars on display, the event promised to be interesting, but we could watch only a few runs before we had to return to Arue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like earlier, we drove along the eastern coast and, even at a leisurely pace, were still able to make good time for our next engagement in Papeete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
