Loving the South Pacific Islands

After enjoying a stretch of 25 hour days I can unequivocally state that traveling westward is the only way to go!  We didn’t have the best of weather in either Tahiti or Bora Bora, but that didn’t really matter.  The warm temperatures – air and sea – made cloudiness and a touch or rain insignificant.

 From Papeete, four of us took a ferry over to Moorea.  This is the island of the musical ‘South Pacific’ fame – the one they sing ‘Bali High’ about.   This photo is taken at the hotel where we had lunch.  Someday I need to come back and spend a week or two in one of the little huts over the water.

 

The day in Bora Bora was probably my favorite so far.  In the morning I snorkeled at a beautiful reef, then swam with stingrays and sharks, then swam at the most beautiful beach of a lovely little outer island.  In the afternoon I did a ‘walk on the ocean floor’ excursion that was quite fun if not a bit Jules Vern-ish.  

 

 

 

The color of these clams was so vibrant.

 

So happy to be here.  Wishing everyone in NE could be here as well J.
