Our first holiday on The World. An amazing experience that we've been lucky enough to repeat twice more. For our first voyage we sailed Papeete-Moorea-Huahine-Bora Bora-Aitutaki-Rarotonga-Nukualofa-Norfolk Island-Bay of Islands-Auckland over 24 days then we flew down to Christchurch for a few days.
Gosh, this three photo thing becomes more and more difficult. We started this trip with a QF points EK J redemption. We spent most of the short flight in the bar and had a blast. So many of you have done this, many, many times, but for us it was like another world. And we hadn't even boarded The World...
Going back through our photos and there's literally thousands.
Bora Bora. I booked a boat cruise. Bloody expensive when I look back but an amazing day on a very nice skiff, skippered by who I will gladly admit as the hottest young local guy (that I didn't know would be taking us out) and only two other people, a chef at the Four Seasons (I think) and her mum who was staying with her.
I was going to post us in with the humungous stingrays, but nah. A bit later we tied up to a mooring at one of the entrances into the main lagoon. We then clung to ropes off the back of the boat in the strong current, surrounded by swarming fish
We took bikes out and road around Raro, we'd actually done the same when we at Bora Bora. I've said it multiple times, I love Raro. Here's the sunset and a rainbow at the end of a wet but wonderful day on Raro
without a shadow of a doubt the most spectacular sky either of us have ever seen and maybe will ever see. This was the day before we arrived at Norfolk Island, so somewhere between Tonga and Norfolk. The sea was like glass
. I have spent a bit of time around Hadrian's Wall and the Lake district but will add another dot
