A four hour sail in brisk wind brought us to Bora Bora which is reputed to be the most beautiful island in the world. We enjoyed a 32km bike ride around the island & saw some of the hotels built out on the reef. On another day we went on a boat trip & swum with sting rays. They have the most silky soft skin but their mouths are like sandpaper. Their stings have been removed so that it is safe for tourists to swim with them. They cluster around the boat man & eat the tuna he brings for them. It was amazing to swim with such beautiful creatures.
