Chapter 487 Bora Bora Island
Tahiti is known as one of the top ten resorts in the world, and a large number of tourists come here to vacation every year.
It is warm all year round. Even if June is winter in the southern hemisphere, it is in the north of the Tropic of Cancer and the vast Pacific Ocean is surrounded by, so even in June, many tourists still choose to come here for diving and vacation.
When it comes to Tahiti, the most famous one is the Black Pearl.
The black pearls in Tahiti are known as the "Queen of the Pearls" and are a very precious natural black pearl. Of course, there are now artificial breeding methods, so most of the black pearls seen on the market are artificially bred.
However, in French Polynesia, only pearls bred from black butterfly shells that have been transplanted in Tahiti have the right to use the name "Tahitian Breeding Pearl" in trade.
Rare is precious. The annual production of black pearls in the entire French Bolia is only about 150,000, most of which are artificially bred, and natural black pearls are very scarce. Moreover, most of these black pearls produced in Tahiti every year are relatively ordinary goods, and natural black pearls that can truly reach the level of exquisite round, super-large beads, and peacock green are extremely rare.
If black pearls of these three levels can be reached at the same time, they will definitely be sky-high prices. There are not many such black pearls in the world at present, and there is no price criterion at all.
Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian did not come here with the idea of buying black pearls or collecting black pearls. They were here for their honeymoon.
So at the beginning, they did not take this kind of thing to heart, but enjoyed the unique style of the South Pacific island country.
After staying on Tahiti Island for two days, they accidentally met a couple from China who were also honeymooning. With the guidance of the couple, Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian realized that there was a good place to go on vacation in the leeward islands about 260 kilometers away from Tahiti Island.
That place is called Bora Bora Island!
"Husband, why don't we go there for a few days? Look at these information about Bora Bora Island, it looks really good." Chu Qian suggested.
Liu Mo'ang took Chu Qian's cell phone and whispered: "The island was once selected as the sexiest island in the world in 2005. An American writer also called this island the "most beautiful island in the world". His novel "Story of the South Pacific" is based on this island. Later, it was adapted into a musical film based on the novel... The Pearl in the Pacific Ocean, the place closest to heaven, Dream Island... Tsk tsk, this place looks really good." Finally, Liu Mo'ang raised his voice.
"Yes, when I was chatting with Wu Jing, she talked a lot about that island, and I was moved by it." Wu Jing was the wife of the young couple from China I met just now, but the young couple had already finished their vacation in Tahiti and were about to return to China, when they happened to meet Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian, they started chatting.
"It's better to act than to be moved! Let's book a hotel now to see if we can book a hotel." Liu Mo'ang returned his phone to Chu Qian, took out his phone and started to scoop up. After a while, he said: "Wife, how about we stay in this hotel? Bora Bora InterContinental Lemona Resort Hotel, a five-star hotel, and a hotel under InterContinental Hotel, looks pretty good, and there is also a free water villa. Let's live there."
Chu Qian tilted her head and looked at Liu Mo'ang's mobile phone screen, grinning, "The prices of these five-star hotels are expensive, more than 10,000 yuan a day..."
"Haha, you rich woman still care about this little money? Besides, you won't let you pay."
Chu Qian smiled and took Liu Mo'ang's arm, "Hehe, didn't you spend our money?"
She is really a rich woman now. The dowry given to her by Dad Chu is worth more than 3 billion yuan, which is even higher than Liu Mo'ang's wealth.
After seeing that there was no one around, Liu Mo'ang reached out and patted Chu Qian on the butt, which made Chu Qian look very embarrassed. Liu Mo'ang laughed and said, "Let's go, let's go to Bora Bora Island for a romantic romance."
The largest city on Tahiti is Papeete, the capital of French Polynesia. There are direct flights to Bora Bora, five kilometers south of Papeete.
When Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian were checking out, they received a call from the Lemona Hotel. However, Liu Mo'ang's English was not very good, so Chu Qian took the call.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Qian said, "I just reminded the hotel that in about an hour, there will be a small plane from their hotel taking off from Papitifaa Airport to Bora Bora Island. If you need to wait for us, the plane will be delayed for fifteen to twenty minutes."
"What else can I do? Let's go to the airport now."
The hotel they lived in is Punaoya, south of Fa'an, about four kilometers away from the airport. The hotel is also responsible for delivering the plane, so the two of them quickly arrived at the airport with simple luggage.
Franco-Asia Airport is said to be an international airport, but there are not many international flights. This airport is far away from the mainland, and currently only three cities have direct flights to this airport, including Tokyo, Osaka and Auckland, so there are only three or four large jetliners on the airport, which is pitifully few.
Compared with those large passenger aircraft, there are more fixed-wing propeller small aircraft here.
This is an archipelago, and traffic mainly depends on boats. For archipelagos slightly farther away, they have to use such small aircraft or seaplanes.
Chu Qian found the small plane through the telephone guide. The small plane could only take eight guests, and there were already four guests on the plane at this time.
However, after Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian boarded the plane, the plane applied to take off from the tower. It seemed that the group of tourists were the six people on the plane.
The ownership of the plane is from Lemona Hotel, which is specially used to attract customers from Tahiti to Bora Bora.
Not to mention that riding this small plane here can better enjoy the scenery of Polynesia.
The plane did not fly high, which was about a height of about a thousand meters. Looking down from a high view, small islands and atolls dotted in the vast Pacific Ocean, like green pearls one by one. After flying for about an hour, the plane landed on Mute Island, north of Bora Bora Island.
The main island of Bora Bora is surrounded by a series of small islands, and Mut Island is the northernmost island.
During World War II, Bora Bora was a base for the US military, and the airport of Mut Island was the military airport at that time, but now it has been changed to a civilian airport.
The airport runway built on the island reefs is only about 1,400 meters long, and can only take off and land small aircraft. Of course, if it is a fighter, it is a different matter. The take-off and landing distance of the fighter is much shorter than that of civilian passenger planes.
After getting off the plane, under the guidance of the deputy captain and tour guide, six guests boarded the speedboat waiting on the small pier.
The airport is at the northernmost end, while the Lemona Hotel is located near Cape Matira, the southernmost end of Bora Bora, with a flight of nearly thirty kilometers.
Fortunately, the speedboat was very fast. After more than half an hour, the speedboat that rushed forward came to the vicinity of the hotel. From a distance, you can see a series of water villas connected by wooden trestles. On a rough basis, there are more than 40 water villas in this hotel...
It is worthy of being the world's number one hotel group. The scale of this hotel is definitely among the best in the entire Tahiti.
