Bora Bora 2016 - A day and a half in January

Spent a day and a half on Bora Bora on an Oceania cruise in January 2016. Bora Bora, part of Society Islands in French Polynesia, is a very beautiful place, with Mount Otemanu dominating the landscape at every turn. We did "Le Truck" and "Aquasafari" (helmet dive) excursions, and I explored the town of Vaitape on my own. I met someone who took me up the hill a way to show me the view from there. Saw the most fabulous sunset I've seen in my life, but my camera battery had just died and I had no spare. By the time I got back to the ship, the show was over. I'll remember it for a long time, though. Mauruuru, Bora Bora, for making my day and a half in the Society Islands one of the highlights of my cruise.

Went in foot of water to cool down.  Figured my 25 year old Bass sandals could take some water.
