Tahiti

We have just arrived in Tahiti after almost 4 days in Bora Bora, which were unforgettable. Yes! we survived the sharks and the stingrays- swimming with them was incredible and exhilarating and something we will never forget. Retail therapy tomorrow and more relaxing in the sun. What a life! Then it's on to NZ and Tauranga on Friday, to get the keys for our new home there.
Thanks to everyone who has posted comments for us- we have really enjoyed reading them.

Bora Bora

We arrived here 24 hours ago after great journeys with Air New Zealand and Air Tahiti Nui.

Nothing we have read or seen about Bora Bora truly captures the paradise that it is. The colours defy description- azure, emerald, torquoise and the deepest warmest blues are our poor attempts at defining the colours.

We watched the sunrise at 05.15 this morning then went snorkelling to the Coral Garden before breakfast at 08.30. Tomorrow we are going swimming with rays and sharks so we are hoping they are vegetarians! It's very hot here so we are off back into the sea.
More to follow soon..............

The adventure begins tomorrow

This time tomorrow we will be high above the Atlantic, en route to LA then Tahiti and Bora Bora. We haven't packed yet so tomorrow morning will be a bit frenetic.

Our dear friend Karl is chauffeuring us to Heathrow and Rachael will be "Furry sitting" while we are away. Billy is currently asleep on Rachael's bed so it will be nice and warm for her by tomorrow night!When the UK clocks go back an hour at the weekend, and it's dark at teatime, we will be snorkelling in the sunshine.

More to follow soon....................................

Introducing The Furries

For those of you who haven't met The Furries, here they are, clockwise from top left:
Domino and Megan (sisters), Billy and Pimms.

AOTEAROA or "The Land of the Long White Cloud"

On Friday 26 October 2007, two middle aged youngsters will set off on a 3 week round the world trip. Yes! that's us..... Lynn and Tom.

Our trip will take us to Bora Bora, Tahiti, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Bangkok- all part of the much bigger picture of a lifestyle change. At the end of December 2007 we (including the Furries) are moving to Tauranga, New Zealand to live and work by the Pacific Ocean.Tauranga is on the east coast of North Island, about 2 hours from Auckland, in the Western Bay of Plenty. It is also reasonably close to Cloudy Bay, as the wine connoisseurs amongst you will know.

Exciting times lie ahead so, if you watch this space, we will enjoy sharing them with you!

PS This is not our yacht unfortunately...........................but who knows?..........one day perhaps?
