Arrived in Tahiti at midnight after a relatively easy 5 hour flight, but we'd travelled back in time to the day before (so weird all this time travel malarky), plus it was a million degrees, so were both sweating profusely by the time our transfer arrived! However, our minds were taken off the heat slightly by the Tahitian band that greeted us, and the lovely people putting flower garlands round our necks!
As it was dark, we couldn't really see what the hotel and the grounds looked like, but were amazed at how fantastic our room, no sorry water bungalow was. Stace started jumping around like a kid at christmas - the bed could fit about 6 people in it, and the bathroom was huge! The best thing was that the bed overlooked our balcony and own private jetty to the sea - what an amazing view (well, from what we could tell in the dark anyway)!
Our gorgeous bungalow, the infinity pool and the amazing sunset
Chilling in a hammock, and admiring the views
We got up the next morning and realised just how beautiful our surroundings were - our bungalow was right at the quiet end of the resort, and next to a fantastic infinity pool and manmade beach (bonus being a swim up bar), and there was also another larger pool, a lagoon with tropical fish, lovely restaurants (including an overwater one) and all the staff were lovely.
Not really done much in Tahiti, other than relax in the (much needed) sun, snorkling, eating lots and chilling out on our balcony with some drinks (oh, and Stace becoming a Sudoku guru and Nath constantly playing his new PSP he bought in NZ - very sad). We didn't think it could get any better, but as we'd told them it was our honeymoon we also got a bottle of complimentary champagne (excellent) and they brought us a free breakfast by canoe straight to our balcony (cool)!
Our honeymoon breakfast (Nath was excited to find a fry up under the fruit plates)!
Another funny story is that Stace came back from taking some photos to find a crabby friend hanging outside our door. However, it got a bit scared by the photos and as soon as Stace opened the door it legged it into our room and hid behind the cabinet. We spent the next half hour trying to get it back out again!
Finally, a friend after all this time travelling!!!
Were now in the coolness of the hotel internet room, waiting for our transfer back to the airport - not looking forward to this flight as its 9 hours and we're sure we won't be able to sleep! However, we've had a fantastic time and are looking forward to coming home and seeing everyone over Christmas and new year.
See you all soon (and we hope you've enjoyed listening to us rant on)!
