Bora Bora

After a very quiet and sunny day we arrived in Bora Bora on 27th May. Supersunny and a lush green island that looks especially postcardbeautiful due to the big mountain in the middle. As Dave spent time with some other yachties, Luke and me set off with the white dinghy and cruised to the southern end. I saw three big rays. The water is absolutely clear and of perfect temperature. During snorkeling in front of Hotel Bora Bora we met many fishies, lots of them funny flutefishies.
Bora Bora is very nice. Sadly it is very touristy. Nearly all beaches and lagoons are covered with these little traditional paperhuts - resorts. My tip for tahiti is definetly to go to Mo'orea, stay at a little pension, hotel or where I stayed, the Campsite Nelson (double and triple huts) - with a little beach right in front, 'cheaper' prizes and local life with you (fishing, paddling, boating, harvesting, ...).
