Bora Bora is an atoll similar to the one the French test thier bombs on. It is surrounded by a coral reef that traps delicously warm sea water creating the perfect beach envirioment.

Its radioactive we were told. Don't eat it. Paradise lost courtesy of the French. Whilst the rest of the world decided to use computers to test its nuclear bombs the French in an act of outstanding arrogance raped this last Eden by exploding bombs under Polynesia. The feeling amongst the locals is tense. They feel abused and ignored by their colonial masters. The tragedy is that this part of the world posseses some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.

...One golden rule in Tahiti is NEVER get into a taxi unless you have agreed the fare in advance. If you are booking a taxi by telephone agree the price over the phone. We took a taxi around 300 metres from our hotel to the Moorea ferry and were charged approx 30USD.
One feature of Papette night life is the food vans that congregate around the quayside area opposite the main shopping area. These vans usually have a theme (Chineese, Italian etc) and ... ...vacation there, there are fantastic places (such as Moorea) only short journey away.
Overall, if you are visiting Tahiti independantly, it is worth booking your first night in Papette. You will then have the whole of the next day to decide where to spend the remainder of tour trip. ...
