Fiji: Viti Levu Island, Suva

Mark found a river rafting day that we ell enjoyed. We were picked up at the Port, enjoyed an ~45min drive with interesting commentary about the area by our driver, boarded a longboat for an ~1hr ride up the Navya River to a small village. A true native view for us, not the tourist-experience that's dolled up. Theirs is not an easy existance, but it seems to be their preference & it works for them. We then reboarded out boat and about 10 mins later we walked up a little path that opened up to a beautiful waterfall. It was fun getting into the water, not to mention a nice break from the heat. We got back on the boat again & headed up to a lunch spot where we had a great meal that included a few local specialties.
Then: WE TUBED! We got our butts into our tubes & floated down the river for ~an hour. At one point, our guides broke out into some local songs. Combined with the scenery, it was an extraordinarily peaceful experience.

What a great day!!Read more
