Bonjour!

Today it is Friday and it is time to leave Le Meridien. It was a wonderful hotel but it was also far above our budget.

Yesterday we had rented a car to explore the island and to look for nice and good valuable places to stay. It was a wonderful day with a lovely picnic on a beautiful beach! We also found out that most of the products they sell in the supermarket are from Dutch origin and that they also sell snert and bruine bonen!

Our search for a place to stay was less successful. We only found two options that met our requirements and both were fully booked. One of the two could offer us a room from Monday on.

When we arrived back in the hotel we only had to find a hotel for the weekend. But that didn’t went so easy as expected. All the hotels we had tried to call were fully booked or didn’t exist anymore. It was like being back in Corsica (LOL) where the same thing happened to us. So, we decided that the best thing to do was to book 3 more nights at Le Meridien, even when that meant it would cut a to big amount out of our budget. But when we were at the reception they told us the same story we had heard before…they were fully booked for the weekend!! Aaahhh!! And so we heard it is a national holiday this weekend and that is why all the hotels are fully booked. I hate national holidays!!!

Thank god, there was internet and bookings.com and we finally found ourselves a room at the Sofitel for the weekend! Still, too expensive but much better than having no place to stay.

So we are going to relax at a beautiful pool this weekend, doing nothing! What a horrible weekend!

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers Anna

Ia Orana!

Finally, after 38 hours of travelling, we have arrived at Tahiti!

Our transit in LA was horrible with 3 hours waiting for immigration, customs and check in! And our flight was fully booked with honeymooners what didn’t make the flight a big success. Thank god, Guido and I were too tired to bother and slept the whole flight.

Our arrival op Tahiti was great! As EU-citizens, we didn’t had to go through immigrations and therefore we were outside in no time! Unfortunally, Guido his flight bag was torn apart but that was the only downside.

At the airport was a lovely lady who brought us to the hotel, where we took a shower and a very large cup of coffee.

After doing some shopping at the supermarket, we sat down at the pool to relax…what a wonderful life!!

Tomorrow we are going to drive around the Island (in a Twingo!) to arrange our boat to Maupiti, do some more shopping and to find good places to stay!

Cheers Anna

Up, up and away!!

After a short night with maybe too much wine, the alarmclock went of very early! At 5 Am we were checking in and an hour later we said goodbye to our parents and went to our gate.
It is still funny, we still have the feeling that we are on a 3 week holiday. Maybe that will change after we touch down at Papeete!! But that will take another 30 hours or so!
Anyway, we are at Heathrow now waiting and waiting. At that gave me time to write.

I hope to write something from LA and otherwise you have to wait untill we arrived in Papeete!

Yesterday I had my last day at work, today is my first day jobless!! It feels funny. I still have the feeling I have to go to work. Guido is having his last day at the work right now. He will enjoy the feeling I am having tomorrow!

Dear colleagues, if you are reading my blog, I want to tell you I had a wonderful time with you all, a time I will never forget! Maybe until next year. Take care and I hope we will keep in touch!

Still two more weeks to go before we will actually leave but we still have a lot to do so no boredom I think. I will keep you posted!

Cheers Anna

This is my first message on our blog!

It is the 3th of October and we have five more weeks to go before our journey starts. At moments the time flies but most of the time it is slowly ticking away... 

I hope we can launch our website soon and check if everything works properly! I hope you will enjoy our website and blog. Don't expect us to update every day, but when we do, we will try to take you on our journey with us!

Cheers Anna
