We have left the island! Of Moorea that is on a slow boat to Papatee.The Hilton Moorea was billed as a Honeymoon/Anniversary spot, okay it was beautiful to say the least.However it was flawed. Lets say you get married and you and your blushing Bride have a smooth flight over from the USA,nibbling on spongle cake? Now you arrive to this beautiful island oasis and walk in to your glass bottom room. Eagles claw bath tub,waterfall shower,private d...

So we gave away three quarters of the fish and took the rest to the local resturant for them to cook up. I think they thought we were bri...

Day our here in Yap and it's still as great as day one. Had another dive trip yesterday but it kind of fizzled as the current was strong and surge had us just trying to cling to life never mind the silly fish laughing at us. So with half of the dive boat sick and gasping for air we returned to the dock and decided to do a night dive and see the Maderin fish mate. Well that was a successful dive as we peered in on what was going on in the reef ...
