Today we feel ever grateful that our trip involves several destinations. It is our saving grace as we wave au revior to Bora Bora. Rick's favorite moments include: diving with sharks and Giant Manta Rays, snorkeling and watching Amanda relax. Amanda's favorite moments also include: diving with sharks and Giant Manta Rays and snorkeling but are topped with hand feeding the fish and staring at the stars in Rick's arms while listening to the lapping water beneath.
Moments of note included the umbrella escort from the terminal to the plane in Bora Bora. What service! The rain definitely helped ease the pain of watching Bora Bora shrink in the distance. Amanda decided against Dramamines to avoid the inevitable fog that follows but soon regreted this decision after a turbulent flight back to Tahiti. A nap helped.
Tahiti is much more developed than Bora Bora but not nearly as welcoming. We're staying the night at the Radisson Plaza Resort. We were upgraded to a ocean front jacuzzi room - thank you Honeymoon status! Had hopes of venturing into the market but were advised against it by hotel staff as shops close by 6pm and initiation rituals encourage young Tahitian men to involve themselves with female strangers. We are visiting Tahiti during carnival and activity on the streets at night is high. So, once again, we are haunted by insane dinner prices at the resort. Rick found pizza which consisted of fresh tomato rather than tomato sauce and Amanda ate off the kids menu for lack of dietary options on the adult menu. Watched a colorful sunset from our hotel porch.
Myth Busted: New Jersey is NOT the only place that makes use of traffic circles.
