Right underneath my room.

We were sure that the next day would be sunny and gorgeous just as the travel guides had pictured Bora Bora. Nope, no luck. It was pouring rain with 28 mph winds. Here is Alexei trying to help flip my umbrella back to it's proper position so we can head out to breakfast.

It's been a year since our fantastic sailing trip in french polynesia. Enjoy a few new pics from our adventure.

The village was a great landmark for judging height as we hiked up to the island's summit. From the numerous jetties, one can see how essential the reef is to life on Maupiti.

We were treated to fantastic polynesian dancing at an arena in Fare one night- the last night of a competition series.

The village of Vai'ea was quite picturesque from certain spots along the summit trail, but getting a good shot through the foliage was another matter!

We stepped out of a 4x4 and hiked our way down from here to the bay. An amazing experience with stunning vistas at every turn.
