After a nice morning hike, we visit a vanilla plantation
|
The annual harvest is rotated on drying platforms |
After months of drying the pods are stretched and flattened by hand |
They are then sorted into piles by quality and by length |
The pods are then stored until shipping |
Tony's new friend wanted to come too |
Goose-winging, the most pleasant way to sail |
Bora Bora can be seen on the horizon |
Cornelia takes the helm since the yacht is flat |
Tony checks the sail trim while CMB steers |
Having fun usually involves hard work! |
Our home for the night, "Chez Louise" |
That first G&T is usually guzzled |
No menu - CMB waits with some trepidation |
Laurence, whom we had seen earlier in the day |
Food is served in split bamboo sections |
The best meal of the trip at the lowest price! |
Our neighbours, Laurence and Eddy |
The hostess (Louise) with pareo/apron |
We made a date to meet again in Bora Bora |
