Hi, at last a picture that relates to somewhere we actually are! This is Moorea island in the French Polynesia where we stayed for 3nights the day after we arrived in Tahiti. Beautiful island but the weather hadnt been good before we got there so the visibility wasnt that good for snorkelling unfortunately. So there wasnt a lot else that we could do there and we decided to come back to Tahiti for our last few days. Must just say, it is sooo expensive here - not ...

Hi, luckily Rarotonga has been a completely different story to Fiji, most importantly the weather has been very good (apart from the first day when it rained throughout) which has meant that we can actually how beautiful the island is and make the most of our time here.

We have spent our time doing trips around the area, eating good food and relaxing in the luxury of a westernised country.
