Day 148. May 29, 2016. Anchor off at Huahine, French Polynesia on the Polynesian Treasures

About thirty minutes by plane from the island of Tahiti, Huahine, with its Lush forests, untamed landscape, and quaint villages, is one of Polynesia's best-kept secrets.  The island is arguably the most picturesque in all of French Polynesia, with steep mountains descending into protected bays of azure blue and emerald green colors, the island is also one of the more geographically diverse of the Society Group.  

A deep crystal-clear lagoon surrounds the two islands while magnificent bays and white-sand beaches add drama and solitude to their virtues.  Relatively unchanged by the modern world.  Huahine offers a slower taste of old Polynesia.
Mothers were celebrating on the beach today.  Mother's Day 

So we were again first out to the tender boats.  They provided a shuttle bus and took us to a cute little village.  From there we walked to the beach.  Spent all day there it was great.
Bob bought me 2 beautiful necklace made from shells.  Pretty pretty pretty.  
Tomorrow is a another beach.  No camera for under water pictures so no since on going snorkeling.  Well how can we not snorkel.  Rangiroa best place to snorkel......thanks for coming along
P.s. As I write this blog on deck 11 waiting for the sail away we saw 2 stingrays swim by then 1 of the jumped out of the water.  This was my quick shot
