Bora Bora and the French Polynesian delicacies!

Lobster Ravioli (one of the only familiar items on the menu) and Greg with his traditional steak (of some sort) with a bleu cheese dressing (the only option available at EVERY restaurant! haha)
View from lunch one day. You can canoe across to that little tiny island and eat lunch out there too. 
Last dinner of our honeymoon at a very ritzy beautiful restaurant! I want my house/outdoor living space (in my dream home) to look like this!

View from lunch one day- breathtaking

The food was quite interesting on our honeymoon. 

MORNING 1
-No coffee in the room. What?! No big deal, we're not that hungry but we'll go to the buffet and grab  light breakfast and some coffee.
-Breakfast Buffet $67 PER PERSON! We had NO idea! We got the bill and thought, "Wow Oh my gosh! We just had the most expensive wedding possible and there's no way we can afford that all week-can't imagine what dinner will be!! We're going to lose a LOT of weight in the next 5 days. " (Because the remaining 5 days in Bora Bora all our food was paid for already.)

Lunch 1- No more of that $130 for breakfast. So we rented bikes for $12 from the concierge and headed down to the local market to grab some food. (Which mind you almost nothing was refrigerated or familiar! Yikes! So we bought: a tiny thing of Skippy Peanut Butter (all they had was chocolate flavored Nutella- yack!) I brought our own Starbucks coffee so we grabbed some filters, white bread (yack again) and that's it.  No coffee pot in the room so you probably thinking what do we need the filters for? Well we heated water and held the filter over a cup and drank our fresh brewed coffee ghetto style! It took teamwork to hold the filter and pour H20 at the same time : ) That was our breakfast (and sometimes lunch for the next 5 days : ) 

Dinner-Awesome!
 You have to take a boat to go to a restaurant. To eat dinner we had to make a reservation at the concierge and then the chef- yes the chef! Would come pick us up as well as a few other couples and that is all who was at the restaurant that evening. The chef and maybe one other waitress would take our drink and food order, cook the meal, we would all eat and then wait for the other couples to finish. Then we would all leave together after a few hours.
