No Bora Bora
Having woken up on Sunday thinking it was Monday, then realising it was Sunday when the boat we tried to get on didn't leave until Monday, we were a bit confused. International date lines fault!
We spent the day in Papeete celebrating with the French that the Italians had won the World Cup. Still confused. We enjoyed a few beer Hinanos and checked back into the hotel that we'd checked out of this morning.
Waking up on Monday (again), we checked out of the hotel (again), and walked past the bloated dead dog on our way to the cargo harbour. The first bad news of the day was that the cargo ship couldn't take any more passengers to Bora Bora. Our dream night sleeping under the stars on the deck of a cargo ship sailing across the south pacific was blown. There was also no other way to get to Bora Boara, except a 400 pound flight. We decided to go and spend 10 days in Moorea. We bought tickets on a more conventional passenger ferry, and began to ring up for accomodation. Nothing. We board the ferry knowing that we only have the beach to sleep on. Arriving at Moorea we decided that we may have to blow the budget and flashpack for the night.
2 hours later we have checked into our own private villa looking out across the lagoon. It was huge!
We spent the rest of the day lounging around thinking we were Kings, and had the best night sleep in months.
24 hours later and we have found a budget place to stay for the next 8 nights.
The beach is OK though!!

I am sure that tiny little island off shore in the photo is the one that was opposite our cute little beach bungalows we stayed at when we were there, if so that part of the beach is also nice and great for snorkling!
