Fiji

And so on to Fiji....

No Rehearsal on a buoy in Savusavu harbour, where we checked in.  The customs officers could not have been more pleasant as they went through all the forms with us.

There were several good places to eat here and a great fresh market too.

Seeing the sights.

Crowing coconut palms to transplant later.

Baby bananas!

There is a great tradition of Cava drinking here.  It is a root which is ground up and then mixed with water, the locals will sit around and sip this mixture, which looks a little like muddy water.  It is quite a ceremony and taken rather seriously and  I did try it, but prefer a G and T.  It is said to have medicinal qualities and aids sleep.

Just chilling after a heavy night on muddy water perhaps?  Luckily no heavy machinery was involved, just a machete!

Meeting up with good friends Di and James in Musket Cove.  A great  coffee shop and excellent sausage rolls too.

Then we went off to Port Denarau to check out and finally head south to New Zealand.
