Yesterday I was talking to @Corrie and she challenged me to post some pictures here of Bora Bora, in the French Polynesia. Getting there is a nightmare, to be true. I was there during my honeymoon and we spent some time first in the West Coast of the US, but even so, it took us 8 hours from Los Angeles to Tahiti, and then another short flight from there to Bora Bora.
But once you get there, you are mesmerized. The turquoise blue of the waters is something that can be seen in pictures, but they don't do justice. You have to be there to see that. Of course, I stayed in an overwater bungalow (don't ask how much I paid, please, my credit card still runs away when it sees these photos) with direct access to the lagoon.
I hope you like them!

@LuisRG These are amazing!! You lived my dream vacation / honeymoon!!
I think you would like St. John in the Virgin Islands 🙂 Here are two pics from my trip there in Dec 2015.

Wow, of course I like those pictures, @Corrie! Now I know my next destination (apart from Japan, I mean ^^)
I'll share in a few days some pictures of Moorea, another island close to Bora Bora. Quite beautiful also, but not as much as Bora Bora.

Thanks! Well, if you go to these resort hotels and you choose an overwater bungalow, which is the most expensive room they have, I remember paying about $1000/night (and I'm talking 2005). So I don't want to check prices now 🙂

@LuisRG Like them?! - Love them!! Bora Bora is now on my bucket list. I'm in LA, so that 8 hour flight doesn't seem that bad for such tranquility. Thanks for sharing.
