Dinner at
Bloody Mary’s last night was incredible.
The ride there from our resort (after the boat) was around 30
minutes. The floor of the restaurant is sand;
you sit on palm tree stumps for chairs!
I knew all of this but it was a surprise for Jim! When you walk in there is a display on ice
of all the fresh fish for today (and there was lonely strip steaks) –
everything is already seasoned and ready to go on the big grill next to
it. After the hostess explains what
everything is, you tell her what you want to eat and are then seated at the
table and order your drinks. We both had
Bloody Marys; Jim had a kabob for appetizer and marlin for main course. I had red tuna sashimi for appetizer and
swordfish for main course. The fish
names may be similar to east coast but they taste different – wonderfully so –
because the fish swim in warm water there and cold water here.
This morning
was our last day on the beach and afterwards we went to have lunch at the pool
restaurant. After showers, our bags were
picked up, we checked out and sat looking at the lagoon for the last time until
our boat shuttle took us to the airport.
A quick 40
minute flight to Papeete…and then a wait for our 10:50 PM flight to LA. Arrival in LA around 10 AM and then a 12:45
PM Southwest flight home! 15 hours in the air!
