have you ever dreamed of sleeping over the water diving right into the ocean from your balcony
watching the sunset but then realized most over water bungalows cost thousands of dollars per
night imagine my surprise when i found the cheapest over water bungalow in the world
whoa wait this bathroom's amazing in a place that is not typically cheap at all this is the royal
wahine on wahine island in french polynesia which we only paid 110 each per night for
things looked good when we landed on the island it was stunning from the air but
problems started to arise when our ride didn't show up at the airport so we had checked
thanks for picking us up he forgot his juicer and all right thanks for forgetting your juicer
all right i'm really grateful for the juicer i'll leave the juice back remind those guys when you
pay for it that they never showed up oh i will found the boat found the boat lost the captain
oh this is funny so many months ago i stumbled upon an over water bungalow that i'm pretty
certain is the cheapest in the world it was on a really good sale but i've looked far and
wide and i have not found one that's actually cheaper than this our ride didn't show up but
it's okay we still got here and i think that's our captain now to take us the rest of the way hello
i'm gonna get you
english is my mother language
there it is our bungalow's over there somewhere
and i am excited okay well this is awesome we've been gifted a fruit plate
and now we're gonna go see which of these is ours i've never stayed in an overwater bungalow before
and they're really excited we got partway and then we realized uh we didn't we don't have a key
so she's gonna get it and bring it over to us we're batting a thousand today
oh my goodness
right you think okay oh here it is
this is our room this is the fruit plate and our little couch a little
kitchenette area a kettle a tiny bottle of water the fridge here nothing in it but
we put our own stuff in so it's all good this is our bed
i obviously have to do the ultimate bed test
it sounds worse than it is that's our neighbors whoa wait this bathroom's amazing
the lighting leaves a bit to be desired but we have this like huge bathtub here with
jets that may or may not work we have this like fantastic 90s style shower it's a big shower
oh my gosh not bad okay but i have a feeling the best part is outside
we got the best view seriously there's no lifeguard on judy should we swim yes
they call it a mocha even though it's yes even though it's not chocolate oh wow you meant that
oh it's thick and hard yeah i'll be here for a while give me on a scale of one to ten
it's true there are peas in this omelet i've never had peas in an omelette before
it's confusing breakfast is okay but i love that we're like eating over the water while looking at
our over water bungalow it just keeps delighting me over and over we're over the water right now
there's fish down there yeah there's been flying fish going by that's also really cool and the
view the view is amazing after a questionable breakfast we decided to take a chance and hang
out with those guys who gave us a ride the day before maybe that seems crazy but i've always been
trusting when i travel and it's led to the best adventures wow that's so pretty is this real life
hahaha
all right nice to meet you yes hopefully see you again soon
honestly those guys were awesome yeah so nice like no strings attached let's just go have a
fun afternoon definitely hit you up when i come back yeah let's keep in touch sounds good that
was more than a beautiful again yeah pick you up from the airport you never know who you're
going to run into this is why i love hitchhiking so we've come to the end of our two nights in
the world's cheapest over water bungalow which at like 105 each per night is really good and french
polynesia is like not a cheap place to travel and if you're two people then it usually doubles
here so it's pretty amazing that we got to do this and i i really dig being in an overwater bungalow
it's water we're over water we're over the water right now there were some minor things
like them not picking us up from the airport but that ended up being a really good thing
because then we got to hang out with smitty and bob yeah so actually thanks for forgetting
people because of it but being able to like run and jump off of your accommodation into
the water for whatever reason it's so much better than having to run across the beach first i don't
know why so i give the food a three out of ten and everything else like a nine out of ten honestly
yep but we are actually staying in a super fancy over water bungalow in bora bora in like a week
and a half and that one definitely is not a budget bungalow so we'll see which one reigns supreme
