A friend and I discovered a sign indicating 'restaurant' near our eco lodge, a metal shack located behind the owners home.

A Visit to a Special Part of the World, The Tuomotos
We arrived at the tiny aerodrome on the island of Rangiroa in the Tuamotu archipelago of French Polynesia - marveling at the narrow air strip surrounded on both sides by aquamarine waters.
