EVER CUDDLED A MANTA RAY!

Saffa tourists take over Moorea
Yes, finally we had a chance to "just be tourists". We cruised around the top of northern Moorea, checking out Cooks Bay, Opanohu Bay etc. Truly stunning, these deep bays indent the north coast of Moorea like the letter "W". Josh and I swam with a whole school of Rays, they brush right up to you, obviously used to being fed. We were surprised how "soft" they were, rubbing up against us. Later on we sneaked into the Pearl Bay resort which was the first resort in Tahiti with "over water" bungalows. We spent most of the afternoon around the resort pool, drinking whiskey and coke from Chantal's handbag. We were not going to pay $15 for a drink, hahaha! Now we are back on board, watching a golden sun sink into the horizon, the barbie is lit, steaks are marinated, Yeeeha. Andy has 6 days left on shimmi, its going to be strange without him, to say the least. Especially Josh and Indie are really going to miss him...
