there's a little bit of drama today
the aeropuerto is over there it can't land if it's even cloudy because there's no electricity
at the airport and so if it's raining they don't have light to land because we're supposed to go
to bora bora today so cross your fingers and your toes please that was graceful
fingers crossed
this airport is like a postcard it's so beautiful that is the runway there so there was another
group that left our accommodation this morning at 6 30 and i know that by 10 11 they were still
here i can't tell if they've left or not yet but we have some blue sky so fingers crossed
french polynesia which is a wonderful place but it is a logistical nightmare
too what time was our flight going to be 2 30 2 30. what time is it now it is 3 50.
okay the hour is now 5 o'clock no sign of the flight some people have been here since 6 30. so i
guess i'm grateful i've only been here since 12 30 but uh if it couldn't land already can it land now
around evening we realized there's no way that any plans were going to land so we
had to head back and hope that we could get out the next day that's very helpful
one eternity later this he's a fisherman he probably does not have insurance to transfer us to
bora bora but lots of people have done taken this boat from bora bora or to bora bora and riyatea so
we're gonna give it a shot i'm a little nervous but
i guess let's do it not being stuck and missing the whole rest of our trip good getting to our
over water bungalow in bora bora also good having the option to go by boat neutral boat doesn't have
insurance not so good we don't really know what this boat looks like also not good going against
the wind also not good we're going now oh we're going now instead of whenever so that's good cool
fork it here we go that's our boat this is kind of what i feared it would be
to cross the ocean here we go
um
we made it
oh my gosh look at this table
it was so worth that boat ride and everything to get here
this is our beautiful room oh my gosh i still can't believe we're here that's my bed test
oh it's soft it's nice it's nice for you to like it
not too soft though the place is only as good as this bathroom
which is awesome
two sinks we don't have to fight
bathtub we're not gonna use because the ocean's right there okay we have to see
what our view looks like oh my god even if it's just for a day i'm so psyched let's swim me too
we've had nothing but bread since this morning and this is a pokeball
hello friend hello i was so hoping i would see you it's truly a sad thing to be leaving
after such a short time here but it was wonderful i'm really glad we made it
in the end i'm glad for the adventure i'm glad i got to stay in a fancy overwater bungalow we
also stayed in the world's cheapest over water bungalow which was up two weeks ago
so check that out next if you haven't seen it after bora bora you're most definitely
going to have to pass through tahiti and when you do let me recommend the
intercontinental it has a gorgeous view of maoria and we had an amazing sunset there
the next day we met up with our friend laura and my boyfriend garrett and we went out to have an
adventure all right we did zero research we're in the waterfall valley and like
this looks like a trail so we're excited let's try it let's try it
check it out that's cool it looks awful new though i think what we actually found is like a
historical site but that's also cool everything's fun and a surprise when you don't do any research
so cool though there's like shell necklaces everywhere and offerings here obviously a
sacred place we are slipping and sliding everywhere these rocks are slick and i
think it's never not raining in this valley oh yeah that one right there
what do we think of the waterfall valley beautiful yes we saw a waterfall on the way in
that we're trying to hike to now again
it's slippery spiky and spidery oh my god a little raspberry yes
victory yes it's a double rainbow it's a double rainbow
we did a pretty good job for not even knowing
what we were getting into where we were going this morning i think so go team
