Moorea, Tahiti- Paradise Found!!!

I know I have raved about locations in this blog before, but unequivocally,  Moorea is the most spectacular place we have ever seen. We ended the cruise in Papeete, Tahiti yesterday and took the ferry over to the island of Moorea. The cruise was great but we had had enough after 32 days. We are now staying at the Moorea Pearl Resort in an over-water bungalow for three nights. It has been a long time dream to stay in one of these thatched luxury cabins and it has not been a disappointment.

This resort is French casual chic and gorgeous! Our cabin is totally private with a beautiful terrace facing the surf break and a glass floor to watch the sea life. We also have a ladder that allows us private access to the lagoon for swimming and snorkelling.  We saw a sea turtle right off our porch on arrival and there are all sorts of beautiful fish swimming around us.

Today was Bruce's birthday and  we celebrated by going on a jet ski excursion to a lagoon where we swam with stingrays and black tip sharks. Pictures will follow in an additional post. It was totally amazing.

Meanwhile, we are enjoying resting, relaxing and swimming in the spectacular infinity pool!
