We had a good day in Bora Bora but also my first disappointment with Radisson. They scheduled a motu day at the last minute. Unfortunately, there wasn’t time to cancel our excursion. We debated whether to skip the excursion and lose the money or go on the excursion knowing we would probably miss the motu. In the end, we stayed with our original plans, a jeep tour of the island. While the jeeping was fun, stopping by the market so our driver could grocery shop and being stuck at the pearl farm for 30 minutes in the hopes that everyone would buy something was frustrating. By the time we got back to the ship, it was definitely too late for the barbecue on the motu. I don’t usually get mad but it made me angry that we had to miss such a special event (and something I have always wanted to do.) So, I took a nap. No use exposing anyone to my bad mood. When I woke up, Alan and I sat on the balcony and watched the departure from Bora Bora (which was lovely). By the time we finished dinner in Signatures, I was back to my normal happy self. And, our dinner was outstanding.
