Last of the photos…..
Moorea in the clouds
The Amsterdam will be leaving soon
Moorea Pearl Resort bungalows
Million dollar property
Surrounded by palms
Close to the water
One lone frigate
Waiting for the last tender boat
We saw kids swimming here before we left
The steeple of the church where we tendered
View of Opunohu Bay
Cars and boats
Nice back yards
This is a driveway to a garden up high – note the vehicle in the middle
Clouds were making the peaks dark
A sun haze blurred the pictures
Odd formation
Kayaker
Sharp peak
People were waiting for us to leave
A different angle
Little bit of sun left
Waiting for the showers
But they missed us
Different look depending on the sun’s position
A lasting memory
Quiet cove
Clear
Less clear
Better
Best place to be
In the water
Reflections
Sun will be setting soon
Moored boats
Moorea Pearl Resort
Walkway between the bungalows
Still in operation we assume
Exiting the reef
Losing the sunlight
Reef surrounding both bays
Kayakers followed us out
Stayed with us for a bit
Heading towards Bora Bora
The garden island
Getting further away
Better view of the huts
Cook’s Bay is to the left
Watching for dolphins
Never saw any
The ship that got our spot – the Europa
Much smaller than us
Owned by Hapag-Lloyd – 450 passengers
Where she is heading, nobody knows
Commercial ship
Last of the view
We have over 150 to 170 miles to the next island
Looks like a candle
Seldom see this many peaks of Moorea
Sun would set at 6:40pm
Too long to wait
Sun was hidden by a huge rain cloud
Flags coming down carefully
As good as it got
