Thank you, Vid. I am saving your information for future planning reference!
My husband and I are seriously considering a trip to Bora Bora. What are the restaurants like? Can you get to several on foot or do you have to take a taxi?

What is there to see on the island? Do most locals speak English?
Is there any shopping? I'm not looking for high-end, but a girl needs a little shopping on her holiday!
Thanks!
