Bora Bora, French Polynesia

January 30, 2011


"The Pearl of the Pacific"  "The most beautiful island in the world" Captain Cook claimed in 1769
(I claim in 2011).
Prominent Mt. Otemanu with a ring of clouds.


Tranquility reigns supreme with crystalline waters of every shade of blue from pale aqua, turquoise, sapphire, jade, navy ~ it doesn't get more perfect than this








Glass bottom boat tour offers views of sharks, stingrays and many other colorful fish





Swim with black tip sharks and stingrays
(don't let the music scare you)




No wonder that this island became the inspiration for author James Michener’s “Tales of the South Pacific"

The famous Bloody Mary's restaurant  



Bora Bora sail away......

......fabled land of Bali Hai
