After 3 days or swimming, snorkeling and getting browner then we've ever been, it was time to head back to the main hotel. We spent two more nights there. We rented some rusty beachcruisers and rode into what passed for a town on the Motu. Another day we did a drift dive in the pass. The lagoon only has two main channels to the open ocean. During the change in tides the water rushes through these passes and with scuba on you just descend and let the current carry you through. It's supposed to be a great shark dive but we only saw one baby hammerhead. While in town,we met a guy who had just got off his sailboat from Sanfrancisco. He had been out for 3 months! It's wild the people you meet out there. Mostly Europeans. France and Italy. We talked with two couples that lived very close to us Italy. One from Montova and one from Verona. Talk about a small world. The above are some other pics from Rangiroa that I wanted to include. Tomorrow I'll get to posting from the other half of our vacation.
