Hey!
This is our last day in Bora Bora. The last couple of days have been slow, lazy and lovely. I went to the Hieva festivities which basically celebrates July (why not celebrate the whole month right?). Bora Bora is known throughout Tahiti to have the most beautiful Hieva celebrations. I saw dancing and singing. It was wonderful and similar to other Polynesian dances...the Hula in Hawaii and Haka in New Zealand....only this was local people performing for themsleves as much as everyone else. All other performances that I have seen have been just that, a performance, a show. I dont know how they can hula for 2 hours straight! Went to Club Med yesterday. Took a boat trip out and went snorkling...the water was incredibly clear and that perfect blue colour!
Tomorrow the gang is off to Moorea. I think everyone is excited for a change....Bora Bora seemed a bit small to contain everyone. Moorea should promise many things to do. We will be staying at a dreamy 5 star resort apparently...what more could you ask for in paradise?

Hi from Tahiti!!!! xxxx
You are such a lucky young woman! It sounds so pretty! I hope that you are not getting too much sun. The water must be very clear and blue. I would like to see the Great Barrier Reef sonetime.
Love Daddy
Why am I not surprised you left your tickets at home-3 weeks in Thailand with you and nothing surprises me.
Sounds like it is just a little different to what you have been staying in for the last year-oh to have some luxury when travelling.
Hope you are relaxing and soaking up some sun, and not doing the mad woman thing you are so good at.
It is so cold here-it was raining and miserable all day today-not happy, bring on some warmth!!
Love to see some pictures.
