Last of our day in Rangiroa…..
The sun would go down soon
The Kia Ora Resort
Sun is setting
Shoreside set-up
Sail away snacks
Decks are flooded in minutes
Looks abandoned
Their tender boat
Bungalows
Most are over the water
Small boat
A nice place to stay
Isolated vacation
Tourists come here for the diving
Turbulent waters of the pass
The ship has to swing around to get out
Now you can see how narrow the coral is
A few buildings
Hope it is deep enough
This spit of land harbors the big predators
Sharks and dolphins hang out here
Wind Spirit
Looking towards the airport
Catholic Church on the Tiputa side
Fishing in the channel
Watching us leave
The rest of the atoll looks like this
Watching or fishing?
Casting lines
Boat harbor of Tiputa
Church
This is where we tendered last year
Families enjoying the water
Sandy shoreline
Homes in the trees
Speeding across the channel
Kayakers
We caused a big shore line wave
Goodbye until next time
We walked this last time
Following us out
Looking for dolphins
More huts
A tower on the point
Clearing the passage
The first dolphin sighting
Another jumper
They are very quick
What a display
Going the other way
Lucky to see them
Then they were gone
The party’s over
What a view
Airport
Some of our hat collection
