The whole time we were traveling whenever we got cold and wet we would say, "just wait for Bora Bora" Or if we were tired from having to get up earlier to catch a flight or go do something we would say, "just wait for Bora Bora". Or if the hotel was a bit dirty or full of bugs we would say, "just wait for Bora Bora" The whole time I guess I was worried that something would happen and we wouldn't make it to the ultimate reward of Bora Bora. Or Bora Bora itself wouldn't live up to all the expectations of 7 months of waiting. So, when our flight from Tahiti to Bora Bora safely landed I breathed a sigh of relief. And another big sigh of relief when we go to the Intercontinental Hotel. Looks like our prayers and expectations were met. Should be an unbelievably luxurious and relaxing end to our 7 month trip. Hard to believe it is nearly over.
The hotel is all over water bungalows and we had reserved one that had a view of the mountain on the island in the center of the lagoon. So we had a beautiful, comfortable bungalow where we could snorkeling right off our porch or watch the sun set behind the mountain. No one has to wake up early as breakfast runs until 10:30 and there are no plans for the rest of the day. Just swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, reading, and relaxing. The first night we had dinner in their fine dining restaurant. You know the kind where you get 3 forks, 2 spoons, and 2 knives. Where the waiter gives you a little explanation of each dish before you eat. The kids were a bit freaked out. You can read their impression of the meal after this entry. Anyway, here are some pictures of the first few days. We leave here for home in about 4 more days.
