Beach Bungalow on Fakarava

Left Rangiroa at noon today and flew 35 mins to another atoll in the Tuamotus - Fakarava.

The Havaiki Pearl Guest House, where we are staying, has bungalows on the beach - a proper wood, coconut palm and bamboo construction right on the sand.

Giving myself another day in the hope I get fit to dive again, we settled down for a relaxing afternoon on the beach and in the sea.  Snorkelling out over the clumps of coral looking at shrimp gobies, Picasso trigger fish and goat fish.

Then sat and watched the sunset across the lagoon from the bungalow's verandah.

Have booked half board as there didn't seem to be an option but have already found the food to be better than lots of places where we've eaten so far in French Polynesia.
