Heavenly weekend in Moorea

On August 15th and 16th (weekend), we went as a big family on a trip to Moorea (Tahiti's sister island). We all fitted in both of Pepe's cars and loaded them in the catamaran. With that boat, it only took us +/- 30 min to get to Moorea. The kids were very excited to get on a boat for the first time. They just couldn't wait to get in it. Luckily, kids don't get seasick.

Here we are at the Papeete harbor waiting for the boat to come.

We made the reservations at the Hilton a while back for 2 "over-the-lagoon bungalows". It has always been Juri's dream to be live over the water with a glass bottom to watch the fishes. Not long after making the reservations, we found out that my brother's best friend as well as my niece's godfather was appointed the chief director of that hotel. He made our stay even better. We sure had a whole lot of fun.

After spending the morning at the pool, it's time for a nice lunch. Everybody was starving.

They were fascinated by the glass bottom inside the bungalow. We were able to watch the fishes straight from the couch.

Baby boy was enjoying himself too, especially when I was swimming

The kids loved the tub and bubbles.
