Day 13 – Feb. 2

We stayed overnight at Bora Bora. When we woke up this morning it was still cloudy with high winds. We went to have an early breakfast since we would have an 8 AM shore excursion, swimming with stingrays and riding on a glass bottom boat. Unfortunately, a few minutes after we sat down in Stardust Club (used as a waiting room for all shore excursions), we were told that the tour was canceled due to the weather. We were disappointed but hoped the afternoon excursion would go on. That was our last chance to see Bora Bora. As the time past, the sky was open up and the sun had come out. Our Mountain Safari by Land Rover tour started at around 1 PM. Four of us from the cruise sat on the truck bed of a Land Rover. There were five or six cars in the group. They took us to several viewpoints around the island. They drove on narrow rugged service roads with 10-15 degree incline up and down. When we looked up or down, we were a little scared, but we knew they had done this many times. We were in good hands. Our tour guide spoke English and was fun. The first stop was a viewpoint next to a water tower in the middle of the hill. As we climbed out the car, a beautiful panoramic view of the picture-perfect Bora Bora jumped into our eyes. We saw several overwater bungalows laid on the lighter aqua color ocean from a distance. We also visited the World War II site and Matira Beach again. Today, it turned out to be a beautiful day for sightseeing.

On the ship, the Super Bowl was played in Galaxy Lounge. The room was decorated with a Super Bowl theme. We watched the last 7 mins of the game to see Kansas City win the Super Bowl from behind.

We had a quick lunch at The Trident Grill and had dinner at Waterside. Both meals were delicious.
