It’s fine, it depends which island you go to, the big ones have supermarkets, restaurants, etc etc. You can eat almost anything but will pay a premium for stuff that gets imported by plane. If it’s one of the smaller/less populated ones then you need to get your groceries by the weekly plane delivery and otherwise a lot of coconut and fish.
first airports (Auckland and LA) were 6 and 8h flights away
It must have been a real pain in the ass catching those flights without an airport. Did people get shot out of a cannon and hope to grab onto the wing? Did their baggage also get cannoned?
No no the flights are caught, but with giant butterfly nets, you have to jump on the back of the plane like it’s a rodeo and get in that way, it’s fine after the first couple times you get the hang of it.
Can confirm, I lived in the middle of it (Polynesia), first airports (Auckland and LA) were 6 and 8h flights away.
What is it like over there? How’s foods and all?
