Fiji

Trade winds blow warm air across the waters and islands of the South Pacific.
Our small beachfront bure with an outdoor shower - home for the week.


Local girl chilling away the afternoon on a hammock.


"Bula" means greetings in Fijian.


A family of pigs joined us from a small village on the other side of the island.


Heading off to school in an open boat across turquoise waters - has to beat an old yellow school bus any day.


Dinner on the beach was first wrapped in woven baskets, then covered in a layer of banana leaves and a layer of sand, and left to slow cook. Delicious !


PADI Scuba Diver Certification completed while in Fiji.


Local art at a cafe in Nadi.


Exquisite sunsets were absorbed every evening.
