Polyneisa. The eclipse in Bora Bora was 94% full.
We got up early early (the full eclipse was at 8:23am) and got ready,
then headed down to the cafe to get chocolate croissants before taking
the boat to Hilton Resort. By the dock, the locals had a party which
was obvious it had been going on since last night. Typical local, they
had parked a car in the middle with speakers on the roof with blasting
music. Then the people (the onese that made it through the night) was
hanging around drinking. As we parked the car, there was one man down
in the parking lot, and after a closer look we realized it was one of
Daniel's staff! We walk around the corner, and there was another staff
passed out on a park bench. Still in his kitchen pants (you know those
black and white square)! Both who are supposed to work tonight, so at
least they have some time to get their act together!
We arrived to the hotel and hiked up that famous hill and watched the
eclipes by the spa with our eclipse glasses (and eating eclipse
cookies made by the great pastry chef, Alexi!). The glasses looks like
the old version of the 3D glasses but compleatly black.
The eclipse was pritty cool actually. It didn't get compleatly dark
and we didn't see the full "ring" but what we saw was more like a thin
half circle. This is my 2nd solar eclipse, but last time I didn't have
the cool glasses!
When we had enough of the eclipe we took the stairs down to the staff
compound and watched the WC final (Holland/Spain) with Arnaud, Joel
and Alexi.
The rest of the day is beeing devoted to chillin'!
Cheers my friends!
