French Polynesia, Moorea, Pacific ocean, Tahiti,

 

Ons verblijf in Moorea (Tahiti) voor enkele dagen ... een droomverblijf ... in de ochtend met de opgaande zon en in de avond bij zonsondergang .... enig om daar weg te dromen ...

 

Our stay in Moorea (Tahiti) for a few days ... a dream stay ... in the morning with the rising sun and in the evening at sunset .... only to dream ...

 

Moorea is een Frans Polynesisch eiland, behorende tot de Genootschapseilanden in de Stille Oceaan. Het ligt slechts 17 km ten westen van Tahiti. Het is een echte huwelijksreisbestemming, maar als bezoeker moet je er wel rekening mee houden dat het er erg duur is. De naam Moorea betekent "gele hagedis".

Moʻorea is a high island in French Polynesia, part of the Society Islands, 17 km northwest of Tahiti.

Because of its stunning scenery and accessibility to Pape'ete, Moʻorea is visited by many western tourists who travel to French Polynesia. Especially popular as a honeymoon destination, Moʻorea can often be seen in advertisements in American wedding magazines. Arthur Frommer declared in Frommer's travel guide that he considered it the most beautiful island in the world.

From above, the shape of the island vaguely resembles a heart, with its two nearly symmetrical bays opening to the north side of the island: Cook's Bay and ʻŌpūnohu Bay.

Arrival to Intercontinental Resort Hotel and SPA Moorea

I especially like the lacy trees on the horizon - these trees grow on most of the islands and are visible along the ridge tops. The foreground is blurry because I took this out the window as we drove along in Le Truck.
