Welcome to Fiji! The land of the friendliest humans ever. Why am I shocked? They are living the good life.
We landed in Nadi, which is on the island of Viti Levu. Much like Hawaii, Fiji consists of a bunch of islands, Viti Levu being Oahu and Nadi being Honolulu. Pretty much what I am saying is it was the land of tourists. Fiji is to the Aussies what Hawaii is to us. If you stay close to Nadi, you will never really see Fiji.
This is the real Fiji. Far removed from the all inclusive resorts and their tuesday night limbo contests.
We headed to a smaller island Vanua Levu, which was pretty much what you would expect from Fiji, paradise.
America's past time - Baseball. The Fijians have wheel-stick pushing as theirs. All the kids walk around pushing a stick with a wheel attached to the bottom. Go figure.
We spent a lot of time in different villages and every time were welcomed with open arms into their homes. We ate, played music, and did something that resembled dancing.
Dave took a liking to using a mono-pod. What can I say... we're old men and don't have the stamina of those younger kids out there shooting.
We really enjoyed our days off in Fiji... some (me) much more than others.
I'm home now. It's a weird feeling. Trying to get back into the swing of things. Don't know if I was built to stay in one place too long... So let's hang out before I leave again!
Adios!
