I got up at 6:30am today. I wanted to get down to the breakfast. I was really hungry, which isnt a surprise to anyone who knows me. after breakfast I went back to the room and got ready. we went over to the royal villa, the nicest room on the island (3k per night) to check it out. that room was insane! This is the kind of place a movie star would stay in. The flowers they had all over the room and on the beds really adds a nice touch. The place has two bathrooms, a outdoor bath tub under palm trees, a backyard, with private pool, and access to a white sand beach right behind it. Such amazing views. its like looking at a painting or picture on a wall somewhere. A friend of mine saw pics of where I was and said wow, it looks like paradise, and mat corrected him. He said "this is paradise" and wow, he is right.
After the villa I went over to the pool area where a guy with a ton of tahitian tattoos was doing demonstrations. I took a few pics of him, the band, and of a girl who was there doing some demonstrations as well. The guy with the tats has a pretty crazy looking face. He has tattoos all over his face and body. tongue piercings, and a big bone that goes through his ear. He used a machette to cut open some coconuts, and even gave me one as I was shooting, but I couldn't hold it so I gave it to Rani. After that we had lunch with Rani and then after that I went back to the room to take a nap. I've been so exhausted that I think I am getting sick. I'm living in both time zones (for my work) and i think it is catching up with me. If I had been doing this blog I would be feeling even worse since typing takes a while!
After the nap Rani paddled over on a SUP so we could do some sunset shots with her paddling in front of bora bora. The sunset wasn't too great because there was too many clouds so we just hung out there by the white sand for a while. Rani gave me the SUP and I paddled out for a while. I saw some really cool sting rays that looked like small manta rays. they were covered in spots, almost like a wildcat, but with black spots. Mat took pics of me as I paddled, hopefully one turned out, but I haven't seen them yet. I'm really far behind on editing pics. I have so much to do! I paddeled out all the way until the reef was too shallow to continue. Sure enough right as I turn around the wind picks up so I got to paddle upwind! It was so glassy to on my trip across the lagoon. The white sand in this area, or on the whole island for that matter is unreal. it seems os perfect that it almost makes you think that they brought the sand here, but actually it is natural.
After SUP we got ready and then went to dinner. I had some kind of tuna thing called tartar, tahitian chicken, which had a nice sauce, and then for dessert I had a sundae.
I'm back in the room now, and about to crash!
