The volcanic crater of Bora Bora |
Okay, it's overrun with tourists and the beaches are privately owned by luxury resorts. But we had to go, because...it's Bora Bora! The hype and glitz haven't managed to suffocate its mystique as the Holy Grail of the South Pacific.
12 days after these bananas (pictured in the Raiatea post) were cut, they began to ripen; Bora Bora's peaks are in the background |
The iconic peaks from another angle; they almost always snag clouds, whether a few... |
...or a lot |
Not a tourist event, the annual fishing competition drew an appreciative crowd from the village... |
...for some really big fish! |
The colorful lagoon from a hilltop viewpoint |
We got in the turquoise water whenever the weather allowed; swimming with rays was particularly fun! |
Celebrating our 45th anniversary, at Bloody Mary's (having a Bloody Mary, of course) |
