We have been in French Polynesia for our honeymoon the entire month of August of 2000. It 'really the place that it is usual to imagine how the "Earthly Paradise". We visited 8 islands, which form part of 2 famous archipelagos: Society Islands and Tuamotu. The trip, of course, was organized entirely by us, we bought tickets in the agency and the rest all do-it-yourself "!

We are true lovers of peace, adventure, diving and we appreciate the holidays organized tourist village "all inclusive", where you can find all sorts of fun and entertainment with animation (like Club Med so to speak). We like to organize our own holiday! Pensions in which we are accustomed to staying type Guest House, very often run by local families that have, adjacent to their homes, some more rooms to accommodate any traveler, or small and simple resort taken just targeted by mass tourism but still decent and clean. Usually in these types of accommodations can be found double rooms with private or shared dorms as well (2 or more rooms with bunk beds = 4 or more beds). The kitchen is often shared with a fridge, gas, water, cooking utensils, crockery and a few different things to cook basic necessities such as salt, oil, spices, sugar, tea, chamomile, etc.. But you can also find very nice places where you have breakfast, lunch and dinner included. After this brief introduction we pass the addresses real!
