In my long-since-passed pre-child life, I occasionally skipped work and tagged along with my husband (then boyfriend) on his work trips (he flies for our national airline). I unearthed these old photos of my favourite pool ever at the Intercontinental Beachcomber Hotel in Tahiti. It is a sand-bottomed infinity pool that has views out to Bora Bora and, which still thrills me no-end, a bar pool with submerged seats. You'd swim over to the bar, perch on a seat with warm, clear water up to your waist, order a drink, and then watch a fit French Polynesian man shake and stir for you. And then he'd hand over a magnificent cocktail, along with a dazzling white smile. It's been far too long...
whoa, gorgeous beach. in my pre-child life i went to concerts every week and drank myself silly. i also rode my bicycle without fear and read novels through the night. now i'm a clean-living mama whose only form of alone-time is running. i wouldn't mind a little polynesian vacation right about now. i'm also desperate to go to japan. not this year, but soon.
ReplyDeleteWe went to Tahiti for our honeymoon (Bora Bora and Moorea) I do miss traveling dearly. I can honestly say, it's the thing I miss the most about our now child-full, more frugal lifestyle we are currently living.
