in Bora Bora

The airport is on its own "motu" or private island. It was built by US army guys in WW2. They occupied the island for 5 years, but the feared Japanese invasion never happened.
The only way from the airport to anywhere else on the island is by boat.


That is the airport behind me.
The hotel boat picks us up at the airport and we were given flower lei's, which I have always wanted!!
All those trips to Hawaii and never a real lay, I mean lei. lol




Ah... the honeymooners. This is a well earned relaxing trip!! No lugging of backpacks, no switching hotels every 2 days, no shared bathrooms! Just pure luxury!





So happy to have finally arrived!! And it is more beautiful than we imagined!
