		Atuona harbor is not the most comfortable place we've ever been.
		Atuona is pretty much a one horse, one street town with the gendarmerie, a post office, four stores or magazins, two snack bars, a mini-bank, the tiny Air Tahiti office, a museum, a craft shop, and that is IT.
		It is the opposite of Atuona, an idyllic paradise with crystal clear turquoise water, no swell, a white sand beach (unusual in the volcanic Marquesas) with palm trees, but no civilization.
