Taha'a is a gorgeous Polynesian island. Our cruise ship stopped at Taha'a and Raiatea. We thought about which island to tour and finally decided to stay with Taha'a where we were docked. When we arrived, the Taha'a public market at the dock was still open. In addition to local produce – fruit, vegetable, and fish – local artists had stalls. One artist specialized in water color painting. We loved one of her self-portraits so much we bought it. We also bought a little vanilla, an island specialty.
As our ship started leaving the dock at Poutoru, we saw a gentleman carrying the largest sweet potato I have ever seen. The sweet potato was humongous and must have weighed over 50 pounds. We talked to a friend on-board who said that while not common, the older islanders know where to find large sweet potatoes.
