Alright, boarding our flight to Bora Bora, Air Tahiti.
We just touched down in Bora Bora. It's beautiful already. Yeah the water is beautiful.
There is our noble steed.
We have arrived.
A little anniversary gift from the resort. We have beautiful Villa here.
It's air conditioned, praise the Lord. A little mini bar right there.
The first round is free they said. So this is the bathroom his and her sinks.
Nice rain shower, that's nice. They were nice enough to put some
flowers on the bed for us. That's very sweet and and we have outside.
A little sitting area with a beautiful view. And, we're not getting back up any time soon. We may
not get out of this bed. Alright, pretty much got the beach to ourselves.
It's pretty humid. It's rainy season, but don't be turned
off by that because when the rain comes its about a 30 minute blast then it's gone
and sunshine again. Yeah, It said storms all day today. There's one storm right
here, but I think we've had a sprinkle for about five minutes. We're gonna go
get sushi so it's all good.
Time for breakfast with an amazing view and it's all included. The buffet, whatever we
want off of here, cappuccino
Sometimes we have some sharks come in here, okay? You're kidding right? No.
Oh. No Problem. You'll rescue me right?
You having a good time? I have a good time, I like my job. Look at that. This is my office.
Just another day in the office. This is Fabien's office.
This is the best day yet. Nice breeze
it's about... I don't know, probably only three degrees cooler, but the
humidity is down just a smidge, so it feels like 10 degrees cooler outside so
Take a dip it's very refreshing and then just sit in the Cabana here, and it's
really nice. Here's the view.
So, it's not bad. And, there's just nobody here. Of course, it is 10:30 a.m. so
probably about 2 or 3 o'clock we'll be in the AC and there will be a few people here.
No worries. I got it. Honey, pick it up from the back. I can't. Oh, you're so strong
loading an inflatable raft. You just stand there and look pretty. I got the heavy lifting. You're good. Watch the tip.
This is what being married 20 years looks like. isn't it wonderful? Yes, you become very self sufficient.
Here we have the new villa. Beautiful view out here.
Then we have a very large bathtub, but that view though
We have a little glass bottom floor. We can see underneath.
It's ridiculous. Definitely ridiculous. If you cannot
afford an overwater villa the whole time or if you need to stay less time to get one.
Do it. Do it, do it, do it. In a few days, you can see everything really that I think
that you would need to see here. It's mostly snorkeling and the overwater villa
is so worth it. If you can't afford it the whole time, do what we did. Move to it
your last night. Because, we got to check in a few hours early. We got a late
check-out so we got to stay a few more hours. I would say it was totally worth it
for the night because we got to experience snorkeling off of here. There
is great snorkeling right around the hut if you can't afford a tour.
You'll get to see so many fish right around here. Next tip, make friends make
lots of friends. We made friends with two of the couples on the boat ride over. One of
them, when we were staying in the horizon view villa
invited us to watch the sunset. They were in the 300s and then another one of them
just today yelled down to us now that we're in the overwater bungalows. They
said they were going on a shark tour and they are in the Presidential Suite and
said if we wanted to swim over and use their pool while they were at the shark
tour we were welcome to. Yeah I do want to do that.
So this is from my goggles. It kind of hurts. But, some pretty great snorkeling tonight. We saw this puffer
fish he wasn't puffed, but he was pretty big.
Yeah we wanted to startle one to get it to puff up, but we
didn't know enough about puffer fish. You guys, make fun of me, but
I don't know if they sting you or something? But, it was cool and we
found a spot with a lot of fish over there all different kinds of colors
yellows, whites and blacks we saw little babies, great big ones. And it's neat because the huts they have pillars underneath. You can
kind of see.
But yeah, so all this, they have coral
or whatever reef growing up them so you'll see all kinds of blue, bright
blues, and black and white striped fish, angelfish, and things like that.
So, on that note what I would say is bring your own snorkel gear. They have
stuff here.
That's what we did, but they don't fit it. Another pro tip is for you men out
there. You should shave. Just my hair growth in two days, you know I'm starting
to, I was getting leaks under here from just facial hair so it ruins the
suction and what-have-you on the goggles and I was struggling with that, but other
than that really cool experience
Really nice to be able to just jump off your deck and go snorkeling.
I mean look at this. That's the main island back there, and
supposedly there are some sting rays out here. I didn't feel like swimming out there. I was
kind of tired. But, now we're gonna order some room
service. Have our anniversary dinner.
It's 6:00 a.m. I have sunglasses on. Why? Because of this awesomeness.
Bye Bora Bora! It's been awesome. The huts have been great, waters been great, views have been great, weather's been
great. Woah, the weather's been great? It's been hot.
Well, it's been sunny. That has been great. It's been hot! Yesterday was amazing.
Time to go!
