We have now been at anchor in Cooks bay in Moorea for 5 days.  We hired a car for a day and drove round the islands which is about 60 Kilo meters in total.

We stopped at various viewpoints, went for a walk in a ‘Mara’ site, had drinks in a hotel and walked through another posh hotel to go swimming on their beach but noone seemed to mind.

This is a real paradise island and the hotels look very nice with huts built over the beautiful light blue sea which is lovely if you are not on your own boat..

Lovely views from Belvedere (both pictures)

Typical hotel built over the lagoon.     Lovely view over a lagoon, looking towards the reef

This is not us… only if we were younger!!!!    Nice view across a bit of sea
