Day 124 Moorea, Society Islands










































































































Today we definitely visited one of the most beautiful islands on the planet. Moorea is breathtaking. We left the ship around 9:00 via tender and rented a car shoreside. Our plan was to travel completely around the island, including a trip up the mountain to the Belevedere Lookout. The views were just amazing. This place is so rugged and lush it is just spectacular. The water is so many shades of blue it is like a piece of art. We spent about 4 hours traveling around the island checking out the mountains and beaches and had a tremendous lunch along the beach. What a day! Tomorrow we go to Bora Bora which is also one of the most beautiful islands going…. I’m loving this!

Nice spot Jeff. Those thatched huts are a resort are they not? I could just see me sleep walking renting one of those. Guess it would beat an alarm clock. I think your pictures can't capture the true look of the sea. But it does beat white which is all I see.
Awaiting more please.
PS: Is there a counter where you can check on hits vs posts on this blog? Seems only a few post?

I'll post...because I want you to know that I've been lurking and reading your log for a few weeks. What an amazing trip! I am enjoying all of your comments about these exotic places. I still have to go back and read your previous blogs, now that I know where to find them. Thank you for sharing your adventure with others.

Come on Whitey - you know Jeff is doing this only for you, me and the two Lisas. LOL!

I think that is the Sheraton (thatched roof hotel over water); we stayed there and it was amazing. The floor had a glass bottom so we could watch the fish at night. In the morning, you wake up, walk out on the deck and jump in. Amazing.

Thanks for posting the pics - I just had a mini-vacation in my head.

Some of the most spectacular pictures to date. Just like a South Seas island should be.
Just for the record, we do read your blog every day.

I really think Jeff that you need to take all of your favorite 'bloggers', like Whitey, Holly, Sweets and myself on your next cruise to experience all of the sites with you in person ..Any feedback from the 'crowd'?????

We could actually save you some money on your internet connections!!!!

P.S. Of course, we may have to add a 'rep' from Crayola to verify everything!!!!

Hope I didn't miss any of his 'fav' bloggers!!!!!!

Oh I'm soooooooooooo up for that. What a GREAT plan. Don't worry about Crayola, I'll have that covered and then some!

You Mr. Mayor are THE MAN.
