Papeete, French Polynesia / World Cruise Reprint Tahiti: Travels in Hyperreality Less than twenty-four hours in port—and a paradise already performing its own mythology. See Full Image Show Text Field Note 01 Reprinted from the World Cruise 2011 post . With less than twenty-four hours in port, the locals and the locale are living up to their stereotypes: Tiki-style roofs, tropical gardens, swaying palm trees—and the visual souvenir that, like the postman, always delivers.
