Vanilla

Vanilla takes about nine months to reproduce and be harvested in these islands. The plants are polinated by hand when they bloom and its VERY time consuming. But this Vanilla is some of the best in the world and a good reason to create a little "backyard patch" of land devoted to just this crop.


I found this entire area to be a wonderful place to explore.
Life is SO simple here.

I'm sort of geared this way anyway, and I thought it interesting to to travel around
these island with very simple but effective modes.


This is the best way to see the people in Bora Bora.





I've always adhered to the "Keep it Simple" principal.

But if necessary, these "Le Trucks" circle the island about every hour.

They're inexpensive and you just "jump in" and go easily from one stop to the next.
