Intercontinental Resort, Tahiti

We were a little more energetic today. After breakfast, we took a walk to the “Carrefour” that’s about 20 minutes away. Tahiti is incredibly expensive and we were well aware of that before we decided to come here.

There’s a mini fridge in the bungalow and we decided we’d pick up some bread, cheese, charcuterie, wine and snacks so we’re not so dependent on the restaurants here. (Our breakfasts are included…if they weren’t, our tab would be C$120 every morning just for breakfast for two. 😩)

While it was hot, it was a pleasant walk and included a fruit and vegetable stand at the side of the road along the way. They were even selling flower crowns!

Carrefour is a French grocery store similar to a Superstore. It sold everything from electronics and pate to diapers and macarons. We had no trouble finding what we needed. When it was time to leave, we had quite the surprise! It was pouring rain. And I mean pouring. We knew it wouldn’t last forever and it didn’t. As soon as it turned to drizzle we walked back and had a relaxing afternoon and evening. And yet another spectacular sunset.Read more
