Lauren's POV

It's been a month and I always had a fabulous busy day. I did snorkeling most of the time. It's fun to swim with the fish.. The place was fabulous. For my first week, I visit the main village of Vaitape and shop at the local boutiques and dine at every fine Bora Bora's restaurants. For my second week, I explored the Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu on a Jeep Safari tour.

For the last two weeks, I was always in the water. Since water is a way of life on the island, things you could mostly do includes snorkeling, diving, cruising, fishing, paddle boarding, kitesurfing, Jet Skiing, and of course, shark and ray feeding. You can also take your experience to new heights by parasailing, skydiving, or touring the island by helicopter.

So far, I have done cruising, paddle boarding, jet skiing and almost everyday snorkeling. Three days ago, I went parasailing. The take-off and landing are done from the boat. During the flight I saw rays, sharks, turtles and lot of birds. At a certain height, I could see the neighboring islands.

Today, I'm going to the mainland, but I had to take a cab and catch the boat to the lagoon. I had to wake up early morning to walk to where the cab is and into the mainland where I secured a spot in a boat to the lagoon, where I'm going to swim with the sting rays and sharks, and feed them too with the turtles.

The place is out of the world, but the only cons I realized, is that the place is so romantic and known for honeymooners, so obviously, I felt left out always, but it doesn't mean, it killed my fun. I may feel a bit outcast almost every time, but I always forget I was alone.

Not long, I was walking to the plank where the boat is waiting. There's already like 6 pairs in the boat. Two Tahitian guys are operating the boat. One steered the boat and the other guy plays a ukelele and sing to entertain us while waiting till we arrive to the said lagoon. The fresh breeze was whipping on my bare skin. I was wearing a black two piece and top it with a crochet tank top cover-ups beach dress, with my back pack, where I have my water proof video camera and my snorkel's equipment.

It feels relaxing and calming. You could see that everyone was really enjoying their stay. Smiles plastered in their faces. And so am I. I was so ecstatic every morning I wake up. There's nothing you couldn't do. There's always a thing you could do and it's always fun.

Not long the boat engine stop, indicating we reached the coral garden, where we can snorkel in the clear and shallow water. The turquoise vibrant water was so endearing. I could see the fishes already. Everyone took off their tops with just their bathing suits and wore their snorkeling gadgets.. I took my top off and stuffed it in my backpack and took my snorkeling stuff out and put it on. I left my back pack to where I seated and walked carefully to our tour guide, and he help me to stand on the side of the boat, ready to join the others, swimming with the fish and exploring, while waiting for our guide to take us to feed the sharks and stingrays, and hopefully I could ride a shark.

"This is awesome.!!" a girl smiled at me widely, while threading on the water to stay afloat, taking off her goggles.

"I know right?" I replied giving her back a friendly smile. "This place is just too breathtaking!" I exclaimed cheerfully as I looked around the vibrant water.

The girl swam closer to me, smiling sweetly. She looks like almost my age. She has blonde hair and fair skin like mine. Her blue eyes is strikingly beautiful and she had few specks of freckles around her nose.

"I'm Angela by the way. That guy approaching us is my husband Ainsley. We just got married two weeks ago. We are here for our honeymoon. A gift from his parents. This is where they went on their honeymoon too." she beamed happily.
