Moorea, French Polynesia
82 degrees, 80% humidity - per my weather app, it feels like
it is 92 degrees
Stats: 15 baguettes devoured by the family and counting.
Up to enjoy another beautiful day. Feeling so appreciative every time we have blue
sky since the original forecast for our trip was all rain and storms. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was the
first one on the trip that we didn't have to cook so it was good no matter what,
but it really was. It was a buffet, lots
of great choices and everything was fresh.
Another grocery store run so we could have snacks in our room.
We bought the usual stuff including the
amazing egg rolls the grocery stores make and also trying some steamed
buns. It is only 9:00 a.m. and they are
already sold out of baguettes. We must
fix this dilemma so we drive 5 minutes down the road to the only other real
store and crisis solved. We have our
two baguettes!
Walking to the car we see a truck with bee keeper stickers on
it. We started talking with the French
gentleman about his stickers. He said his
son who lives in New Zealand has 400 hives, he only has 20 here on the island. He thought is was amazing that we have mason
bees and that they don't produce honey.
He was so intrigued that he asked for our email so we could chat further
about it. He also promised to drop some
very special honey of his off at our hotel.
We have met some really unique, generous people on this trip. Such a fun encounter. I am reminded that travel
is all about chance encounters. Keeping
our hearts and minds open to the opportunities and our travels will be much
richer.
Andy dropped us off at the hotel and returned the rental car
a day early. No reason to keep it and we
leave tomorrow anyway.
The unicorn and rainbow floaties have been inflated and we
are ready for a family float.
It was
great until the current had it's own plans and took us out a bit. Getting back...not so relaxing, but we made
it. Boys were messing around, in their
usual boy fashion, and jumped in together. Maybe more like fell in. Andy landed on his stomach and Hudson, a full
on back flop, ouch! That boys back was
pretty red.
Hudson, Andy and I decided to check out the pool. It is a beautiful infinity pool. Hudson wanted a makeover and Andy was happy to
help. My boy got a crazy mo-hawk!
Tonight was the last dinner on the island. Everyone raves about Rudy's so we decided to
check it out. They picked us up from the
lobby at 7:00. We had the best French onion soup and the parrot fish stuffed
with crab was incredible!
This has truly been the most relaxed vacation we have ever
taken. Everyone is very chill and
enjoying the down time.
