I have to move fast b/c our internet card only lasts 24 hours!
Yesterday we took a tour of the interior of the island by Land Rover. We went with 2 other couples and became fast friends. The guide took us up winding mountains, which was terrifying at times but the views were so worth it! This place is gorgeous from all angles and we took pictures of all of it and still didn't feel like we were capturing all of the island's beauty! On the tour, we also saw an ancient Temple, fruit plantations, the area of the island where Marlon Brandow shot the movie where he met his Tahitian wife (the name of the movie has escaped us). We ended the trip at a distillery where we took about 5 shots of the various liquor they make on the island - all a huge ploy to get the tourists to buy, buy, buy. Soooo now our bath tub looks like a college frat party. But you really can't beat coconut rum and fresh pineapple juice! Beau even recommended drinking it for breakfast - slow down sister.
When we arrived back from the tour, it was time for our couples massage! Everything was so clean and professional, just like in the states! It was well worth - not to mention we received 50% off. Maybe we should go again today... :-)
I love the locals here. They take such great care of their island and themselves. We are staying on the island of Moorea and it's so clean. There is no litter anywhere, they don't use plastic or Styrofoam and none of the homes really have "junk" hanging around. They are proud and I wish I could learn more about this place. I will have to do some research when we get back. We learned some on our tour yesterday but their English can be very broken and what I did learn only made me want to know more.
Tonight we are taking a sunset cruise, which I am looking forward to! We are also snorkling and feeding creatures tomorrow so I will blog on that too.
Nana!! (goodbye!!)
