Greetings!

Hello friends and family,

 

We are surrounded by stuff in our everyday lives. It sometimes hinders us from being surrounded by experiences and memories. We'd like to do things a little bit different.

 

Did you know the island near Tahiti, called Bora Bora, is on the verge of disappearing?! We didn't either. But if you've looked at the pictures of this beautiful place, you'd understand that this is a place to visit before it's too late. Your gifts will allow us to travel there for our Honeymoon! Your generosity is appreciated in advance.

 

 

Thanks for visiting and we can't wait to see you on our big day!

Bora Bora

Bora Bora is a 29.3 km2 (11 sq mi) island in the Leeward group in the western part of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 kilometres (143 miles) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the centre of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks, Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, the highest point at 727 metres (2,385 feet).

 

Bora Bora is a major international tourist destination, famous for its aqua-centric luxury resorts. The major settlement, Vaitape, is on the western side of the main island, opposite the main channel into the lagoon. Produce of the island is mostly limited to what can be obtained from the sea and the plentiful coconut trees, which were historically of economic importance for copra. According to a 2008 census, Bora Bora has a permanent population of 8,880.
