Otherwise, Bora Bora was my last stop in the Society Islands (not counting the return to Tahiti). This was followed by an approximately two-hour flight to the Tuamotu archipelago, with Tikehau Island as my first stop. There was no other way to plan it according to the flight schedule - as long as I ...

You're welcome, thanks for reading and feedback (-: Yes, yes, you're right, I've noticed this too, to some extent. Especially with Europeans. Maupiti is a beautiful island indeed, however, as I wrote a few pages back, the place seems a bit overhyped to me. However, as far as Americans are concerned,...

I would like to apologize at the beginning for the extended interval between posts, unfortunately I have a lot of other obligations at the moment and so I am using my early morning time to move forward with these... :( Anyway, let's continue with Bora Bora (-: I have encountered this type of mailbo...

Don't worry! I often came back from holidays and checking pictures I thought: "Why I didn't make this pic in a different way?" Happens to me as well (-: Another reason I had to visit Seychelles multiple times (-: And don't worry, you are already on the list: Cool, thanks for that! (-: Now...

One of the most famous restaurants in Bora Bora - Bloody Marys. I wanted to have a beer there, but unfortunately, it was closed. Besides, they wouldn't have anywhere to put my name anyway… https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230505_21334104k7fot.jpg https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230505_21334973vaf4x.jpg https...

One step to the left, so the shelter would not touch the roof of the church. Turn the smartphone a little bit to the right, so sign and shelter would be complete on picture, but not the blue metal construction on the left edge. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking when I looked at the photo (-: ...

Sehr schöner Reisebericht und eine gute Wahl des Autos, ich mag diese moderneren Muscle Cars (vor allem im Vergleich zur Produktion der 90er). Charger, Challenger, Camaro... (-:

Similar to Maupiti, the airfield has been built by the Americans during World War II for the eventual support and supply of troops defending the region in the event of a Japanese invasion. The material for the runway was obtained by blasting away part of the hill on the main island. Construction is ...

@foto-k10: A 1.5L bottle of water cost 100 - 105 XPF if I remember correctly. And to complete the picture, 0.5L beer was around five hundred (-: @Suse: You must have really liked Raivavae a lot (-: But yes, from your description and photos it looked very good indeed... I was quite interested in Moor...

And no entrance fee? :wink: There were no fees, the toilets were accessible free of charge. So were the official hiking trails. Well, with a couple of exceptions in Tahiti, as I recall - for some trails you had to get a permit from City Hall, for example, Fautaua Valley and a few others if I rememb...

And the arrival, had like 2 days on Bora Bora, last of the Society Islands, before my departure to the Tuamotus. https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230505_19205711lkdvw.jpg https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230505_1926054l3ex0.jpeg https://abload.de/img/pxl_20230505_1926237p1cvr.jpeg https://abload.de/img/pxl_20...

The next morning I set off in a similar direction as the day before. This time on the hiking trail leading around the marae in the northeastern part of the island. The start of the trail is near Mont Tapu, across from Fare Potee, a museum dedicated to the history of the island. The trailhead was nic...

The photo isn't worth much, but I couldn't take a better picture - a blue-eyed eel, a kind of local attraction. It's in a small stream in the village of Faie, on Huahine-Nui. I searched for them for a while, and finally managed to locate the exact spot by the largest number of empty fish cans lying ...

And when the owner isn't at home? In this case, there are two options: 1.) If the dogs are leashed, go around. 2.) If not, fall back beyond the property line, they stick to their territory. 3.) In theory, the third option, if the second one doesn't work and they still chase you - fight! :lol: But a...

What an interesting coincidence (-: Thanks for that information. While I totally respect the relationship of the Polynesians to their land, these fences, chains, etc., kind of bugged me. They were actually quite common on all the islands. On Fakarava, for example, someone had secured a small piece o...
