When I arrived in Bora-Bora, French Polynesia, I was given a welcome drink.   There is no alcohol in this drink.   There is a photo of me drinking the drink which makes it look like it has alcohol in it, but I was just very jet lagged after being on a plane for 20 hours!  When you land at Bora-Bora airport you must take a water taxi as you can see below to your hotel.  

I was struck by the beauty of the turquoise water.  The photo above was taken from my airplane window so it's not great, but the water truly is that blue!

Not so great photo of me after traveling for what felt like FOREVER!
Walking to my neighborhood of bungalows:

As you can see my bungalow had quite a view including a glass bottom floor :!

It was nice once I could finally relax on my deck or dock!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

 I really enjoyed just hanging at Matira Beach on Bora-Bora.  As you can see many of the locals and tourists were having a great time!  The sunsets were incredible as well.  I'm very shy about asking people if I can take their photo, but I got some good practice here!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you all have a wonderful week.  Take care my friends!

 My only regret about my trip to French Polynesia is not spending more than one day on the island of Moorea.  I boarded a cruise ship in Tahiti after returning from Bora-Bora.  I loved the lush, green, well kept landscape and the fact that you can reach Tahiti by ferry.  The following is a garden, but there were green mountains and flowers everywhere I looked.

As always you can visit my profile at Pixabay and download and use my photos for free and not worry about getting in trouble here:

I loved this beautiful stone home I ran across:
This abandoned building caught my eye too!

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Please have any questions or comments below.  Take care my friends!

 I had a fabulous time on my boat tour circling Bora-Bora island!  We actually went swimming with some sharks and stingrays!  The scenery was incredible too!
