Marc and Carly came over to our guesthouse around 815AM just after we finished breakfast. Phillipe, or guesthouse owner, doubles as a scuba-dive instructor. The day before we agreed to join him on a snorkel trip to some spots around Moorea. So off we went on this snorkel trip with Marc and Carly and the Italian couple also staying at Fare Vaihere. Here is a picture of Mindy getting "delivered" to the boat.
Here is a picture of everyone excited for an awesome day of snorkeling...
As we departed, Phillipe snagged a few photos of the landscape. Here is one he got. Moorea is beautiful.
And here is a shot we got of the newlyweds!
The snorkel trip had three "dives". First we toured around an area where an artist had sunk 9 tikis carved out of stone. Pretty cool!
The highlight of the day was the second stop on the snorkel tour. We got to swim with stingray and sharks! The women were a bad scared at first!
But they started to warm up after Philippe and the Italian Guy showed how harmless the stingray are!
The Italian Guy loved the stingray!

The stingray and sharks!
The tour ended after another snorkel stop between to motu islands not far from the InterContinental. Around lunchtime, we bid farewell to Marc and Carly and headed back to our guesthouse. We packed up our stuff, headed to the airport and caught a 4PM flight from Moorea to Bora Bora (with a stop at Raiatea). Here are photos from the flight.
This is a pic of Moorea - just like a post card!
Bora Bora! That is the St. Regis in the foreground with the Le Meridien and InterContintel beyond. We stayed at Le Meridien.

We had to take a boat directly from the airport to Le Meridien. Because the airport is on a motu, that is the only mode of transportation in and out of the airport. Here is the sunset on our boat ride to Le Meridien!
