This morning we got up early again (in fact even 1 hour earlier than I'd have thought, due to a mishap with the alarm clock), enjoyed the morning atmosphere, and had another wonderful breakfast. We then checked out and taxi'd to the airport (only $19 during the day)
for our morning ATN turboprop flight from Papeete to (Bora Bora BOB)
Having sucba gear and certification got us an extra 10 kilos of weight allowance, but we still had to pay a bit extra. (A new experience for me.) But everything made it, and here we are in a tropical paradise for the next ten days. :)
From the airport, we hopped aboard the 15 minute boat ride to Viatapee,
and then caught the Club Med Van to the resort.
Oliver (a G.O.) greeted us (as did Philippe, the Chief of the Village) and after fresh juice and checkin, walked us to our little bungalow.
We unpacked a bit, then headed out to the 'new folks greeting/meeting' at the theatre, which, since we were the only new arrivals today, turned into Ed giving us personal a tour of the facilities and an overview of the schedules.
A typically magnificent Club Med lunch followed, and then it was back here to finish unpacking and let Megan nap off her Dramamine in bed. :) Tonight we'll meet the folks from the dive center and start scheduling our excursions (and massages :)). Notes to self: Polynesian dancing on Thursday night, Fire dancing on Sunday night. Maybe Megan would like to climb up to the observation tower tonight to watch the sun set...
