First days in Bora Bora

After twelve flights and a lot of movement over the first weeks of our trip we were all looking forward to a little R & R in Bora Bora. Our resort here is a beachfront paradise - crystal clear and calm water, hot sun, dramatic views...

Short, easy flight from Tahiti to Bora Bora

Water taxis only outside the airport

It was about a fifteen minute boat ride to our resort.

Allison was in water from sunup to sundown

Cooling off in the plunge pool

On our third day, we had a guide take us for a snorkeling tour.  

Cameron drove the boat

After the best snorkeling we had ever done, our guide let us know that our last stop might have some sharks. Carol took video of all the sharks circling us. We were okay with the first few sharks circling us, but after the mob grew to five we decided to start getting out of the water.   Carol was the last one in and didn't climb back in the boat until the sixth showed up.
