Spoiling in the Sun: 1: Tahiti and Bora Bora

on BBC Two England

Johnny Morris visits some of the islands in the Pacific Ocean.

"These tiny islands... have grown slowly out of the sea. They are just layers of limestone gradually plastered up by little creatures whose sole ambition in life is to convert sea water into limestone, for ever and ever..."

Johnny flies over one of the 'new' atolls in the Society group and tours two of the main islands. On Tahiti he finds 'the essence of Gauguin' in the faces of the Vahini. He samples a luxurious French hotel on the edge of the lagoon and flies to the beautiful island of Bora Bora where he takes a trip in one of the few remaining sailing outriggers in the South Pacific.
