Got to talk with Robby. He has been the one taking care of the pools here on property and today I saw him playing music for the cruise passengers that just got to harbor. He said a lot come from the Phillipines. He also lives on the east side with his wife and 5 kids. He spearfishes, grills, drinks, and said most of the tourists stay around where we are.
He used a saying not to be short sighted by not seeing past your nose. Now it is the belly. Diabetes is a problem here and fast food. Too much sugar was what I got from him. We talked about island love and the cost of living, coming from Hawai’i, I wish them luck to keep Tahiti, Tahiti.
I saw the turtles today!
I love that they stare up.
I also tried foodease, a recommend from the woman at check in after I gave her a treat. It is totally their Ubereats and cost wise much more reasonable. But it was all in French so I definitely struggled a little, especially when the delivery person called me and didn’t know English. But I was able to order and get food. Phew.
I was happy I got my four cheese PIZZA. Things I want to try, lol. The tomato sauce is yummy, the goat cheese was a nice blend and for spice they give a chili oil.
I am glad Jenna went out to do some of the things she wanted. We have very different travel styles, she wants to do things but doesn’t like to plan so is willing to pay more for spontaneity. When it comes to travel, I am not someone that can operate that way, I am not comfortable spending off the cuff because it gets pricey and harder to keep count. Plus, going in without a plan kind of sounded like we were not going to do much and honestly, in this location … i wasn’t planning on going far. I would have stayed somewhere that was cheaper and the views weren’t like these from the room.
