Day 27 – Bora Bora

Tuesday May 3^rd – Bora Bora – French Polynesia
Our last day in paradise, and we had to tender to the shore. Ross again had organised us a tour for 8 of us, this time just 3 hours. Our first stop today was to feed the sharks, yea again. Today was different in that we were in deep water and the sharks were bigger, but below us, about 30 feet down. The water was deep enough that a submarine was able to pass under us.
The rays today were larger than the last two days and with each passing day we were all more confident in our interaction with them. Our last stop was for a snorkel and this was also in deeper water than we have experienced this trip.
With the tour over we headed back to the dock and seven of us decided to visit Bloody Mary's for a drink. We found Linda on the dock about to return to the ship so she joined us. Bloody Mary's is a bar/eatery that has a sand floor and a controversial men's loo. We women did visit but it is not that great, in fact it is rather disappointing. I will not give it away, so you can all look for yourselves when you visit. We had a drink at the bar. Barbara had a Bloody Mary that she could not finish as it was too hot with the Tabasco Sauce that was added. We were all hungry by now so we headed back to the ship for a feed.
The weather has been perfect til now, it started to rain just before we caught the tender, so after dinner the scheduled deck party was held in the rain. It did not dampen the enthusiasm of the many passengers who attended, we stayed for a while but retired early, our 4 days of tours has warn us out and I am fighting a head cold.
