…that describes how expensive it is in Tahiti.
I’m at a cafe right now and a CAN of Diet Coke costs $5. I’m staying at a hostel in Papeete which is as far as i can tell the absolute cheapest place to stay on the island, and its still about $50 a night.
The only thing I really want to see in French Polynesia is Bora Bora. I think I’m going to see if I can hit that and then look into leaving ASAP. I originally wanted to visit some of the other islands, but we’ll see. If I have to stay here for a few days, I’ll probably visit Moorea also at a minimum.
I’m off to go and get my money back from from hold up last night.
I’m definitely going to reserve my tickets for at least a few weeks in advance for as long as I’m in the Pacific.
