This morning we disembarked from the ship. The crew was very busy, getting everyone‘s luggage off the ship and organizing transfers. We left shortly after 9:00 and headed to the airport at Papeete, only about 10 minutes away, for our flight to Bora Bora, the best known of the Society Islands. The flight was about 50 mins. and we had wonderful views from the plane. Bora Bora consists of a main island, two smaller volcanic isles and numerous flat coral islets (known as motus) that fashion a semi-circular wreath around half the main island. When we landed we quickly retrieved our luggage and transferred to a water shuttle taking us across the lagoon close to our hotel, we then boarded Le Truck to our hotel. We were once again met with Lei’s and cold fruit juice drinks as we checked in. Our rooms are built on the hillside and overlooks the water. We had a late lunch and spent some time on the beach. We paddled in the clear water and watched the fish swimming around us. There is a little coral (they are trying to grow again) and a few rocks, but it is very easy to wade out. Some of the group were snorkeling, but we’d just eaten so decided to wait. Later, the group went for dinner to Lucky House, a ten minute walk away. I had lagoon fish which was light and tasty.
