Paradise on the earth Bora Bora islandlocated about 2,600 miles south of Hawaii

Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 km northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef
Bora Bora, located about 2,600 miles south of Hawaii, is known for its breathtakingly beautiful turquoise lagoons and tangerine sunsets. It’s one of the most beautiful islands on the planet and its blue lagoon is said to be stunning. Moreover, the marine life in the seas is so rich that it’s incomparable to any aquarium.
The fact that there’s countess number of fun things to do at Bora Bora shouldn’t come as a surprise (Snorkeling, sailing, gliding boats, you name it). However, there are a couple of places at Bora Bora that are essential to be paid visits to by tourists. One of them being Matira Beach whose clear waters would stun anyone. It’s an unspoiled public beach that is shallow to the reef. Another place that’s worth a couple of hours of staring is Povai Bay.

Most of the attractions at this island are centered on activities that are aquatic but there are some things to see elsewhere as well. Tourists could even get a feel of history by visiting Taharuu Murae, which played a role during World War II. An interesting fact about Bora Bora is that its name means “the romantic island”. This clearly indicates the loveliness of the island and the reason as to why so many lovers choose to go on vacations there.

Portofino,Italy

Portofino is a small fisherman village in Italy

Portofino is an Italian fishing village, and upmarket resort famous for its picturesque harbour and historical association with celebrity visitors.
Portofino is a small fisherman village, which is sheltered by the sea. This landscape looks incredibly attractive especially in the evenings when its time for the sun to set. The best thing about this landscape is that its not too large and all beaches are at most a walk away. Moreover, the most notable thing about Portofino is its lifestyle. Hence, it is appreciated by artists and visited by Hollywood stars and millionaires. There are some tourist shops for casual browsing as well as posh boutiques from some of the most well known designers of the world.

Similarly, dining options have as much of a variety. Tourists could opt to eat simple Italian food as well as go for fine dining. It’s extremely important for tourists to remember that dinner doesn’t begin until 8pm in Portofino and the weekends tend to get busy so if you want to eat at a specific place over the weekends, you’d have to make reservations in advance. A lot of people associate wine with Italian food and the fact that this place is known for some unique wine cannot come as a surprise. But non-alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are readily available as well.
