The great thing about a tropical vacation is that you get to truly relax and unwind. It took us very little time to get into holiday mode and leave behind the daily grind and thoughts of work, clients, bills and household chores. A massage at the day spa did wonders, the luxury rooms with the complimentary french champagne helped and the Pina Colada at the Pool Bar had me so relaxed I could hardly remember my name let alone any of my worries! Okay I am exaggerating a little but warm weather, beautiful surroundings and quality time together really does wonders for the soul! It doesn't have to be Bora Bora but it's just great to get away and break the routine and remind yourself that there's more to life than work!
Here a few extra photos from my Bora Bora trip. What an amazingly fantastic trip! From the moment you step off the plane you are enveloped in warm, balmy air and greeted by friendly Tahitians with a frangipani lei playing the Ukulele you know you are somewhere special. The highlights of the trip would have to be the breathtaking scenery and the colour of the water which changes from aqua to turquoise to sapphire. The resort was the best hotel I've ever stayed in with stylish decor and a glamorous crowd. Our overwater bungalow had a glass coffee table that slid across so you could feed the fish that were swimming under your bungalow. The swim off deck was a great spot for snorkeling amongst the hundreds of tropical fish and the perfect place for a cocktail at sunset! The food was superb with the highlight being the seafood buffet with the Polynesian dance show.
This beautiful Tahitian wedding shoot epitomises everything that made me fall in love with Tahiti :- tropical flowers, perfect white sand, coconut palms hung with hammocks gently swaying in the breeze, jewel coloured waters, thatched huts, friendly locals and a simple, relaxed way of life. After looking forward to this trip for so long I am hoping it lives up to expectations!
A dream has come true for me with this trip to Bora Bora. I have wanted to go and soak up the Tahitian sun ever since I've had the bug for adventure, traveling and five star luxury! I have always wanted to stay in an overwater bungalow, swimming and snorkelling off the back deck. I am keen photographer, so going to a place with so much natural beauty and such amazing coloured water has been on my bucket list for a long time. I have also heard lovely things about the beautiful Tahitian people with their warm personalities and big smiles. When I return I will post some of my own photos but in the interim, these images capture the magical colours of Tahiti.
The video below is a little fly through of the resort where we are staying.
