TBT: Dreaming about paradise...French Polynesia

Every Thursday I'm looking back at a card that I received in the past
Today, I'm sharing with you this card from Tahiti, French Polynesia

On my card, you can see Mo'orea, which means 'yellow lizard'
French Polynesia consists of over hundred little islands 
in the South Pacific Ocean, and Tahiti is the capital


French Polynesia is known all over the world as a popular honeymoon destination
I'd be very happy to visit such a breathtaking island for my honeymoon :)

Stamps with special sea-snails on them

It's true, they really are from Tahiti ^^
Do you like it too? Where would you go on honeymoon, if money was not an issue?
Would you choose a paradise like this too?

Thanks again for this postcard Sarah, it's one of my favourites! :)

TBT: my favourite postcard of all times from Pitcairn

It's Throwback Thursday!
Every Thursday I will post a blog about a postcard that I've already received a while ago

Today I present to you, my card from Pitcairn!


I received it about a year ago from my friend Stein, who was there on vacation
Postcards and other things are only shipped from there once every three months,
so I was very lucky to receive this beautiful card

On the pictures we see the famous Bounty Bay, the Down Rope 
and our friend Miss T, a giant turtle who lives on the island
 
Even the stamps make me dream away...

Who else likes this special card so much? :)

My first card from beautiful West Papua

I got this beautiful postcard from my friend Zaky, who I met at the Interpals website
The card was send from Wayag Island, the most beautiful island in Raja Ampat, West Papua


The Raja Ampat Islands are known as 'the lost paradise on earth',
a place where you can go diving, snorkeling and enjoy the underwater biodiversity
That's why there are often many tourists, but it still looks like an untouched natural place!

Zaky warned me not to go diving in a place called Paiynemo,
because there might be little sharks swimming around there ^^

Thank you so much for this beautiful postcard and the nice conversations we have!
I hope I can visit you and your beautiful island one day :)
