This was the perfect way to begin a multi-week exploration trip across the South Pacific. The amount of time spent here was not too long, or short. I enjoyed this very special spot for 5 days. The Four Seasons Resort is located on a long motu (a small island created by an ancient volcano crater.) The resort has a water-taxi to the island of Bora Bora for those wishing to explore all of the beautiful areas the main island has to offer. I was content here and never left the property. However, for those choosing to, it is only a short 10 minute ride across the amazingly clear turquoise waters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bora Bora’s iconic mountain formation. This is what many people think of when they think of Bora Bora.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some of the overwater bungalows at the resort. The sun is so intense that an overcast day was a welcome relief.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My favorite snack before lunch. I can still smell the fresh baked baguettes, and the beer is the local lager. Interestingly, it was created as a substitute over 60 years ago for the coconut liquor which was too strong for the islanders.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sunrise from my bungalow. When I am under the equator the sunrises appear to me to be sunsets and visa-versa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lagoon’s beach. Also great for snorkeling. I only saw one person in the water the entire time of my stay. The lagoon reminds me of the Gilligan’s Island lagoon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

View through one of the many gardens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Walkway out to the overwater bungalows. So easy to confuse the bungalows, especially after a few cocktails.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So I am now preparing for the next leg of my journey. It will take me west for roughly 4,000 miles. As I travel I will be exploring several island countries all along the way to Australia. By for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
