Mmmmm............Bora Bora

Languishing in Bora Bora.

Cycled around the island (30k) taking in the sights. It has a very beautiful lagoon

with large Motos (small islands made up of reef fringing the island) these Motos have been developed for tourism they have the typical thatch roof bungalows out onto the water. The hotels operate launches to bring the guests in from the Motos to the main island, some are very grand.

We are attached to a mooring off the Bora Bora yacht club, the water is very deep on the eastern side hence the moorings.  There was a wedding party of French people at the yacht club Saturday night, they really let their hair down!

There is a big local dancing competition being held in the town (3 k from yacht club) we walked down last night to watch, the road is very narrow,dark with unfriendly dogs snarling at our heels, we managed to get a lift back thankfully.

Kayaking and snorkelling will be on the to do list in the next few days, after we've done a few boat jobs.
