    Water Gardens

    February 15 in French Polynesia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Breakfast and a swim in the gorgeous hotel pool this morning - sand under your feet is much nicer than tiles! We then travelled down the coast to visit the Water Gardens. Had lunch in a shady (but partly flooded) spot opposite the garden. Rosie wanted to chase the Cockerel!
    Water Gardens were quite small, especially as half of it had flooded, but amazing flowers. Also saw an eel in the pond!
    Did part of the trek up the mountain from the gardens - Matt carried Rosie and I had Poppy in the sling. Crazily steep and mosquitoes to contend with if you stopped!
    Had a quick snack at a viewing spot before walking back down.
    Rosie helped get some bits from Carrefour on the way home. Just had time for another quick swim before dinner.
    Poppy spent a lot of the day sleeping and feeding - think she's still adjusting.
    Rosie being quite silly by dinner time - needed to eat earlier really! But she enjoyed her mahi mahi.
    Off to Mo'orea on the ferry tomorrow! Staying there for a few nights before Bora Bora.
