Our trip to Bora Bora was phenominal! The St. Regis was a beautiful resort - made Le Meridien's bungalow's look like outhouses. The people were extremely friendly too. Even though most everyone spoke english, I attempted french from what I learned in school but did very poorly. Thank goodness Pete knew the language well. We also learned a bit of the Tahitian language - walked around saying "orana" for hello, "mauru'uru" for thank you, and "nana" for goodbye. We did a bit of snorkling - found Mr. Turtle in the lagoon and swam with some gorgeous fish. Jet skiied around the lagoons and the main island of Bora Bora, took a heli ride and just had an all around fabulous time. We hated to say goodbye. Now it's back to Sydney - back to work for Pete and back to school for me. Whaa! But, it's good to be back and we have many wonderful memories.

Time to say good-bye. It was so hard to leave but the fun had to end sometime.

Our last sunset.

...the drinks yummy...

The color was breathtaking

Dinner at Te-Pahu. We weren't going to do the cheesy "take-your-picture-with-the-dancers" thing but.... I just had to, and Pete was sweet to join me. He then wondered "Where did Lizzy go?".

Met a couple at the resort who is also from Sydney - Jo and Adam. They joined us on the mainland where we rented buggies to tour around the island.

Heli ride around the island.

Fun in the sun! We snorkled and jet skiied.

Dinner at The Lagoon. Food was yummy! Sat outside overlooking the lagoon, entertained by fish and stingrays.

Drinks anyone? Sake and sushi at Sushi Take.

Beautiful sunset....

Instead of leaving for Tahiti today, we decided to stay in Bora Bora for another 3 days. We moved over to the St. Regis Bora Bora, just across the lagoon. Needless to say, we were in awe!

View from the floor of our bungalow. What fun!

A few picks of the resort. Yes, the water IS that blue. No doctoring of any kind. Had a great view of the island of Bora Bora.

Reached our destination - Le Meridien Bora Bora!

Landed in Tahiti. On our way to Bora Bora - one of the many French Polynesian islands. It's beautiful here! This photo is of Moorea, an island just a hop skip from Tahiti. Bora Bora is a surprising 45-50 flight from Tahiti.
