https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7 I chose this topic because it is a place I've always wanted to go and I think it's really pretty there. en-us 2017-05-10 12:56:42 UTC 2023-05-01 14:09:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Brightnessdown.png sydneypa11 https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171000439 Bora Bora is a tropical island in French Polynesia (more commonly known as Tahiti) which is made up of 118 islands that are divided into five groups. The volcanic Society Islands in the middle South Pacific Ocean is where you’ll find Bora Bora, halfway between Australia and the USA.]]> 2017-05-10 13:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171000439 sydneypa11 https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171001301 The island was named Pora Pora, which means “first born” by the original Polynesian settlers that inhabited the islands.  However, the first European settlers to visit the island misheard and believed the natives had said Bora Bora and that is the name it goes by today!]]> 2017-05-10 13:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171001301 sydneypa11 https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171002018 Bora Bora is a pest free space; not only the island of Bora Bora but all of French Polynesia is poisonous snake and insect free! You could literally go for a stroll without bug repellant, take a nap on the beach and not have to worry about insect or any critters on you at all! Talk about paradise!]]> 2017-05-10 13:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171002018 sydneypa11 https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171002427 Bora Bora is a tiny island made up of 3 villages: Anau, Faanui and Vaitape. There are fewer than 9,000 permanent residents! That means the entire population of Bora Bora can sit in the Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York and there’d still be seats free! This little island, which has a total area of 29.3 km, is so small that there are no forms of public transit. If you plan to visit, be prepared to either walk, or rent a car, bike or two seater buggy.]]> 2017-05-10 13:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171002427 sydneypa11 https://padlet.com/sydneypa11/wwbvo5fcxlb7/wish/171002928 Snorkeling and scuba diving is a huge attraction in Bora Bora. There are hundreds of underwater species that can be seen while out exploring the calm, blue waters around Bora Bora. There are colourful reef fish, sea turtles, starfish, manta rays and sharks!
