Bora Bora! Here we are in one of the
most lovely of the South Pacific French Polynesian islands. No Harbour but we
are anchored in a beautiful lovely lagoon and we have a tender to land.
Suuske this morning went on a trip
which, ….wait for it …involved swimming with Sting Rays and feeding sharks. I didn’t
go because I might have been fed to the sharks as well! She really did enjoy it
and then went on to snorkel on a coral reef. One hears about the South Sea Islands
and we see pictures of waving palms and super beaches with sunshine. Well it’s
nothing like that; it’s better! The greenery is indescribable, the climate is
so hot but enjoyable, the Pacific is blue blue blue and the hills and mountains
spectacular and the people are really wonderful and friendly. I can’t see us returning here so we feel so
lucky to be able to see these Islands for real and not just on films and
posters etc.
Tahiti is next stop tomorrow and we
are looking forward to it with great anticipation. Gaughan, Captain Bligh,
Charles Darwin are among those who have travelled before us to Tahiti. It
should be memorable.
Lovely to read your updates & look at the photographs. What a memorable time you are having!! Missing you here in the West Midlands!!

ReplyDeleteWhen do you go over the time zone back in time to 'yesterday?' My friend was asking if you get jet leg from the transition?
