Cruise - Day 5/6- Moorea (Oct 6 & 7)

These are our last two days on the ship. We spend two days in Moorea, but instead of staying overnight on the ship, we booked an over-water bungalow at the Hilton in Moorea.  

Check-in was a little rough for us, as were not given our choice of rooms. In the end we got upgraded to a premium bungalow. Turns out our bungalow was located on the windy side of the resort which made snorkeling a little rough, but we walked over to Ken/Kims bungalow and the snorkeling was great!

Our room was very nicely decorated..but be warned..island air conditioning is not continental U.S. air conditioning. But if you plan to be in the water during your vacation you should be fine!

We learned a trick on the second day - to feed them the leftover bread from breakfast.
Literally hundreds of fish came out of the coral where we had just only seen one or two.

After snorkeling and our complimentary champagne/wine.
We headed to the hotel restaurant for dinner. A little disappointing but very convenient.

The next morning we had breakfast delivered by outrigger.

 So much food!  But leftover break to feed the fish is a bonus!

 Ken and Kim paddleboarded over to our bungalow.
But it was so windy they could not stand up so paddled on their knees.
Kim paddled up under our glass floor...trying to get our attention.
