53f Raiatea, Vanilla

Our last stop before we headed back to Raiatea was a Vanilla farm. First
introduced in the 1800's, Tahaa is also known as the "Isle Vanilla" and it
now produces over 70% of French Polynesia's vanilla. Packets of pods, jars
of paste and powder were all available for us to purchase. Oils infused to
create medicinal and therapeutic products were also on sail.
