The good news is that today was BEAUTIFUL!! The bad news? Despite my sunscreen, I still got some sunburn….sigh. (Don’t yell at me!!)
Anyways, I woke up this morning and went to my last training session which involved donning a life jacket and jumping in to the pool on Deck 11, then hopping into a sort of life craft. Fun stuff!
Then I met up with Thomas, Danny, Amanda and Ian (3 people from Cruise Staff and the orchestra’s drummer) and we headed out and went to Moorea! When we got off the little boat that took us from the ship to the island (we couldn’t pull right up because the ship was too big for any of the ports) we had decided to go on a snorkeling tour! So we paid a respectable amount of money and we boarded a boat and set out for another part of the island where we stopped on a sandbar, got out, and swam with sting rays, Black Tip Reef sharks, and some other random fish! I wish I had an underwater camera, but, Thomas has one so I’m hoping I can get some of his photos.
After that we were taken to a remote little lagoon and we had a Tahitian lunch of rice, chicken, freshly cut (and probably freshly picked) pineapple, fish, sausage, bread and beer! Delicious!!!
Then we hung out there in the lagoon for a while and swam and snorkeled and such, then we came back to the main part of the island and subsequently to the ship. I also saw the mountain that they used for Bali’Hai in “South Pacific”! Very cool stuff.
Tomorrow is Bora Bora, yay!

I’m pretty tired tonight so I’ll just make some bullet points:
--Bora Bora was pretty cool. I got off the ship, walked around, bought some post cards and a beautiful charm with a Tahitian Pearl on it, and then took a 2 hour bus tour of the Island. Totally worth every penny!
--We are now on our way to New Zealand! We’ve got some rough waters ahead of us though, apparently, so, we’re looking out for that.
--Tonight, we gain an hour! Yay! I like sleeping!
Sorry for the short post, y’all, just feeling extra tired!
Missing and loving you all
