Polynesia revisited
Clearing customs I met the shuttle driver who was going
to
take me to my house on the lagoon.
"There is no surf on this island" the driver said as
he wrestled with my board bag.
After stowing the bag he got in the drivers seat, glanced over at me and said
"Surfing this island is suicide!"
He drove down the road, after a few minutes he looked at me once again.
"Did you bring a helmet?"
I smiled at him "I thought you said there is no surf on this
island."
He looked back with a big grin on his face.
Later in the trip I began to think maybe I should have brought a helmet!
