Tahiti is known for its inexpensive and tasty foodtrucks (roulettes), staffed by friendly locals. We had a chance to try one in Vaitape, the main village of Bora Bora. The parking lot of the Bora Home Depot* had been transformed at night into a food court (Bora Home BBQ) serving chicken, steak, and thon (that's French for tuna).
Friendly dogs roam at will on this island, and one pup (I'll call him Roving Rufus) visited us, waiting patiently for scraps. He could sense we were easy targets, ignoring all the locals. I'm not sure what the protocol is on begging dogs in Bora Bora. They all look well fed and happy. But let's just say some chicken may have slipped from my plate anyway.
*While the signage for the Bora Home Depot sign has the same orange shade of the U.S. Home Depot, we strongly suspect there is no affiliation between the two companies. Here you see that same parking lot in daylight hours.
