Austral Islands/Raivavae: Motu Piscine
Raivavae, the last and the most beautiful of all the Austral Islands. It has everything – beautiful lagoon, 28 small motu islands, central towering vertical green mountains – Mount Hiro, and no people, and no cell reception, banks, or any hotels! Unknown, undiscovered, and absolutely utterly beautiful. Without wasting any time, I immediate made out to the Motu Piscine – an islet on the edge of the lagoon where the shallow sandbar is vast and scenery created by shallow aquamarine waters is totally surreal. Sand islands made out of absolutely sparkling white sand, edge of the reef pounded by waves, small islands with swaying palm trees! Paradise?
