I have read that there is a market to buy flowers that you can bring onto the ship with you. I just heard that it is closed on Saturday afternoons. Does anyone know what time it closes? We will be at the Intercontinental the night before. Is there anything to do close to there in the morning before we leave? Or, does anyone know if we can arrive early at the pier and maybe check our luggage so we can then maybe go to the market and walk around that area?
Thanks so much.

I would relax and enjoy the hotel - we had a really nice time there. You could take Le Truck into town to buy your flowers or there are some flower shops on the road into Papeete you can see them from Le Truck. Then you can go back to the hotel to gather your things and head out to the ship. If you ask the bellman ahead of time they can order a taxi that is a van. We had a lot of fun at the grocery store. The Le Truck stop is just outside the driveway to the hotel to the left. It's only a FP coin (maybe a dollar) to take it each way.

Thanks. maybe we will do that. That will give us something to do in the morning. We had been thinking about taking our own taxi to the pier instead of using the ship's transportation.
