French Polynesian 2016

And then there is the water - how many shades of blue can the eye see?
Oh, beautiful Bora Bora!

Return to French Polynesia 2016

When our trip in 2014 got interrupted with me breaking my neck, our comment even in the hospital was 'we have to come back and finish our trip'.

So we went back for the month of May 2016. And what's the most common thing there?

Sunrises and sunsets! In no particular order...

 

 

Anniversary...

The past week has been spent celebrating my good fortune from one year ago during our trip to Moorea and Bora Bora when I broke my neck in the French Polynesia.

Before...

After...

As soon as I had excellent medical care and the operation in Tahiti where they put in a titanium plate attaching my C5 and C6 vertebrate to the spine I was on the road to recovery. One year later things are pretty well back to normal (sort of) but definitely WAY better than it could have been!

To go back in time... Bora Bora was amazing. So much beauty it hurt your eyes!

Some photos to share:

Ah, the islands from the air!
Flying away from Moorea with its two deep bays.

Over Huahine.

Onto Bora Bora.

Lei'ed on arrival.

And the boat to take you to your hotel as the airport is on the atoll.

Another InterContinental for us.

Our beach.

Still collecting sunsets. Looking west.

Looking east. Our hotel is on a skinny peninsula so it was easy to get both views by just walking across the street.
