Day Three - Bora Bora

Friday, July 22nd

Moments of note included a $75 breakfast buffet that we, fortunately, did not have to pay for.  Once again, thank you Half Board Meal Plan!  We ventured onto the main island to a town called Viatape.  Reminded us much of Costa Rica except for one thing - the prices.  Souvenirs will have to wait because $30 t-shirts are just not going to happen.  The pearls, on the other hand, deserve our attention.  Upon our return to the Hilton, we enjoyed snorkeling like none we'd ever done before - fish everywhere - in all sizes and colors, and right from the deck of our villa - AMAZING.  They come right up to you without any fear at all.  Decided to eat at the more casual of our two restaurant choices, Tamure, and it was a good move.  Still ridiculously expensive but more our style and flavor.  Note: Coconut sorbet in Bora Bora is worth the calories!  Our curiosity was sparked by a large blue colored fish that circled beneath our villa for hours tonight - wondering where he was while we were snorkeling.

Myth Busted:  Local villages are cheaper than the resorts.
