February 8 – Day of Leisure, Bora Bora, French Polynesia

The plan here is to have it low key and relaxing.  So, we have no tours scheduled for today.  We did schedule breakfast in our room though.  And it was delivered to our room via an outrigger canoe.  How fun.


And breakfast was massive.  Enough for three or four people.  We ended up keeping a few of the pastries and some fruit for later snacking. 


Mid-morning we donned our snorkel gear and went snorkeling under and around our bungalow.  The water is very clear, so we had some good snorkeling. 

The water is pretty shallow.  Paul could stand easily.  It was a bit too deep for Mary. 

We took lots of photos of the fish.

Some of the coral was interesting. 



And much of the day was spent relaxing on the deck.  Unfortunately, Mary got a slight sunburn.  She was in the shade most of the day, but the sun must have reflected off the water and got her face and upper torso.  Not a bad burn but still noticeably red.
