    Guns and coral gardens

    February 27 in French Polynesia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Visited two lots of canons used in WWII. Tried to get out as soon as possible so we could do the walks whilst it wasn't too hot. First one was very steep but a very short walk. Nice views of the Motus (outer islands).
    Second one was a much longer and hotter walk! All 4 of us were very sweaty by the end but it was totally worth it for the views of Mount Otemanu.
    Quick dip back at the bungalow before lunch out and some time hanging out play Matira beach - definitely seems best for snorkeling and shade! Saw so many different kinds of fish when snorkeling today. It was amazing! Huge shoals of fish lurk around the drop off and there are beautiful Coral gardens with all sorts of different fish. Wish I knew what they were!
    Rosie did some great swimming today and is getting more confident dipping her head into the water.
    Poppy was so happy and smiley this afternoon and has been great fun to hang out with.
