Last Nuku Hiva adventure

We left Taiohae Bay Sunday morning and headed over to Daniel's Bay. We did an amazing hike through the valley to a gigantic waterfall, Hakaui falls. The flow was only a trickle, due to the drought, but it was a stunning trip nonetheless. We hiked through a local village and were flagged down by an older couple to come visit their house. We chatted in broken English, French and Marquesan and they filled our bags with amazing fruit for our passage. The heat and humidity took a lot out of us and we took a nice siesta upon our return to Namaste. A snorkel trip was cut short by my sighting a 5-foot shark in murky waters.
