Bora-Bora, on the other hand, was defined by its rivalry with the island of Raiatea for the hegemon of religious power. Until a certain point in time, a distinct parallelism exists between the institutions on Bora Bora and Raiatea, leading some to believe that the two islands share religious and political authority over the other Sotavento Islands.

Travelers may have heard that now is the "ideal moment" to visit Tahiti, but they will be astonished to discover that the island – and the whole of French Polynesia – have been abruptly closed to them.

This reminded me of the Maldives and the seemingly infinite activities my partner and I engaged in there, but with the storms constantly rolling in, most of my time was spent inside or sprinting from one café to another through the rain (when you have no options left, food is always a good idea).
