Exploring Rangiroa by Bike

Rented a bike for the day for only 1000F (she gave me a discount cause it was already 11am, apparently that counts as a half day!) biked from one end to the other (~9km). Was going to take the “ferry” to the other inhabited motu but didn’t have time to make it back for the other things I wanted to see. Went for a swim at a small beach at the dock, swam for a bit and tested out my waterproof phone case! A little boy came up to me and called me over, wanting to play what he called “cache-cache” which consisted of us taking turns pushing eachother into the water haha. Stopped by a dive centre and excursion place on the way back to figure out plans for tmr! Lots of intermittent downpours that are so loud but only last about 5-10mins with some thunder. Lovely little island with very nice people, laid back island vibes. Ia ora na is the greeting everyone uses here, pronounced “yo-ra-na”

(got the first sunburn on the trip today, put sunscreen on everywhere except my arms, oops!)Read more
