Bloody Mary's


It's not a drink....it's a Restaurant and a good one.

The local fishermen bring their "catch" and display it on a bed of ice every evening. You pick your fish, they prepare it to your liking and cook it on the spot.
Just for you.....
This was a luxury as we drove around the island of Bora Bora. It's also a great place for a Burger and a cold beverage.


"Bloody Mary's" was a very casual, shady, and comfortable eatery, and I'm glad we took the time to visit this restaurant. Famous people from all over the world have stopped here for the fresh food and to view the decor.
The tables and chairs are made from local wood...as a matter of fact, they ARE the local wood and the floor is white sand from the beach.

Marilyn had noticed the local women wearing a garment called a pareo. She wasn't sure how to configure it but wanted one very much.

It was our good fortune to find a lady that demonstrated it, and soon afterwards, we purchased a pareo a few miles down the road. I really liked the expression on her face as she learned how to tie it. We normally don't spend a lot of souvenirs. It's a burden to ship most things back home. But in this case....it took up hardly any room.


I'm glad we stopped here...this place was a lot of fun!
