Bora Bora

Posted on Sep 01 in 50 Places I Wanna Visit in Life, Bora Boraby ShelynPrint

Have seen a lot of bora bora pictures forwarded from my friends many years ago. I have put it in my visit list and it’s one of the islands that I must visit in my life. Hopefully I have chance to update my blog with the pictures taken from my own camera :-)

From Wikipedia:
********************************************************************************************

Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 ft). The original name of the island in the Tahitian language might be better rendered as Pora Pora, meaning “First Born”; an early transcription found in 18th- and 19th century accounts, is Bolabolla (or “Bollabolla”).

Bora Bora is an island that most people have heard about, but not many people know that it is part of French Polynesia. It is one of the leeward islands and is located about 150 miles northwest of Tahiti. Just 18 miles around, Bora Bora is the ideal South Pacific island. Hibiscus line the hills and valleys, and the underwater world is a kaleidoscopic of fish flowing through prismatic turquoise water with sun rays dancing on magnificently sculpted coral.
