It’s a date we can’t miss! We see it, we hear it everywhere! Tomorrow, February 14, is Valentine’s Day, we celebrate LoveRrrrrr. Lovers’ Day, also a highlight for certain sectors. This year, how are traders and restaurateurs coping with the degraded weather conditions of recent days?
Rainy Valentine’s Day, Happy Valentine’s Day?!
Not sure that it works for everyone, at least in a very popular restaurant on the square, the bad weather of recent days has dampened the enthusiasm of a large part of the clientele, usually many who reserve for the lovers’ party . And generally, it’s the outdoor tables that are popular! “My fault here is when it rains, I lose a lot of customers knowing that I also have a bar on the water. With that, we keep smiling, we will return to normal soon!”says optimistic Taylor Kaiha, manager of Moana Restaurant.
It’s more or less the same problem with the neighbors who offer, in addition to terraces, a larger indoor space. The team is counting on last minute reservations, at least at midday, around thirty places are already blocked for Valentine’s Day tomorrow evening. “It’s quite protected, and when we have a lot of wind and rain, we have a part at the back, an air-conditioned room, so customers are still sheltered in case of wind and rain”assures Vatea Teinaraurei, room manager.
Depending on the weather, good or bad, the tables may or may not be filled with loving couples. • ©Polynesia the 1st
And of course, a must-have for declaring or redeclaring your love! The flowers! At a florist in Faa’a, no interruption in activity due to heavy rain. The manager, also a producer of local flowers, has made his arrangements. Of the 1,000 red roses imported for the occasion, 700 have already been reserved or sold. Some, for example, have to fly back to the Tuamotus. “All Valentine’s Days are the same: whether there’s bad weather or not, it’s love!”recognize
