Bora Bora -- Viatape

Finally land! Bora Bora is one of the leeward islands in the French Polynesia archipelago. One of its adjacent islands was the first one settled and it is thought that all Polynesian ancestors passed through this island on their way to other lands like Hawaii and New Zealand. Because it is leeward it is a bit dry. Ironically we had some rain.

None the less I walked around a bit and we had a boat cruise around the island. I think tourism is their economic base. On our boat tour we saw blacktipped reef sharks and rays. They affectionately named the sharks after American presidents. You may be able to see them in the video if you look carefully.Meer informatie
