All-You-Can-Eat-Pizza

I am sitting down here by the white beach bungalows where the Tanna Coffee Factory and Brett’s house is located. It is about a 30 minute walk from Lenakel. I came down here on Friday where I have been hanging out with the other volunteers. We came down to have a big all you can eat pizza night at the Leniae Palms resort. (It is just some bungalows not a club med.) Apparently a few of the volunteers did this last night and crawled away in pain because there was so much food.

Well we have all been very excited for this. We talked about it all day and planned out our other meals accordingly. We all wanted to make sure we were hungry enough to devour some pizza. Well they are a little slow bring out the pizza, but when they finally bring out the first two trays of pizza we all become very quiet and just begin devouring the pizza. There was chicken pizza, beef pizza, vegetarian, and my personal favorite the lobster pizza. With 7 people and only two trays of pizza they were gone with in 5 minutes. As we sat there waiting for more to come Ann the owner of the bungalows says hey Peace Corps I think we should give a hand to the guy that make this possible, the cooks, who are sitting at a table next to us.

I turn to Sultan and say, shouldn’t they be in the back making more pizza? Well finally after sitting for a while we ask one of the Nivans when more pizza was coming out. He said that that was all of it. Instantly we all got very irritated. We all felt deceived. The bungalow there is hit or miss. We had actually already been making plans for next month’s pizza night there, but after our disappointing experience last night we are going to move our business down the road.

It isn’t like we did not get enough to eat. After eating three scoops of ice cream I was pretty stuffed. It is just the fact that they should have told us up front that they were not doing all you can eat anymore. The owner is kind of sketchy at times. One theory is that they lost money last time so they put a limit on it. We all would of paid more if it meant being able to eat till we wanted to puke.
