Bula (Hello) from Fiji

We arrived in Nadi, Fiji, Tuesday the 17th in the evening when it was already dark so we didn't see much but woke up on Wednesday to a beautiful blue sky and palm trees on the beach. We took a ferry from Nadi to a small island named Malolo Lailai where we will be staying until the 24th. We now travel by boat rather than plane and it's a welcome change. On Thursday we explored the resort, it's very beautiful with lush green hills, clear blue water and beautiful flowers everywhere. On our walk we met Babu, who works for the resort, and he got coconuts and mangoes for us directly from the trees. The Fijian people are the friendliest people we've met in all our travels!! We spend most of the day snorkeling off the beach and at the Malolo sand bank where we saw beautiful tropical fish and also beautiful coral. It's HOT in Fiji (today is 32C, feels like 39C in the daytime and 25C feels like 29C at night!!!) and the water (in the ocean and the resort pool) is as hot as the air temperature so even getting in the water doesn't offer much relief. We snorkeled again today in deep water and off the sanbank.Leia mais
