The first quest was to find an Internet café to post our blog. At the last 2 islands the ship is anchored in deep water (there is no large port) so small tenders (120 capacity)ferry guests from the ship to shore. The tender brought us to the largest city in Bora Bora – Vaitape, a small and rather unattractive town of about 3,000. The first place we were directed to, a small café about 500 meters from the harbor, told us the internet was broken but suggested the post office. We went there only to discover it is closed on Saturday. We walked and found a business store which had internet but they said it was broken. They suggested further down the road at laverie. Turned out to be a Laundromat with washing machines and internet access. It worked well. We then visited many art stores and Bo bought two pareos. We went into the Catholic church. We would have liked to go the Xmas eve mass at 7 pm, but we had already made arrangements to meet Phil and Sybil for dinner at 7:30 so we gave up the idea. Then back to the ship for lunch and then to the motu for a few hours of sun and swimming.
We had a great evening with our new friends, which ended in a bar on open deck looking at the amazing night sky and dancing.
