Island Tour: Lautoka and North

After leaving The Garden of the Sleeping Giant, we headed for Lautoka, a town with a sugar cane plant. We stopped and visited Sister Wright, a sister missionary that was in our ward for the first three months of our mission.  We saw their church building (had to have a police lady draw us a map--very detailed), bought them drinks, talked awhile about their new area and the work.  They love it there!  (The sign for the Methodist Church is just to show how long most of their names are...)







Then we headed North along the ocean side.  We stayed at the Tanoa in the Raki Raki area that night (won't stay there again...not nearly as nice as the one in Nadi).  Our travels took us to the ocean on the Northern side of the island.





We stopped at Voli Voli Beach Resort, walked around the pathways and down to a beach front. One can go on deep sea diving and/or snorkeling trips from here; and there were kayaks to take out free if you stayed there! Not too expensive...we would like to go back and stay one day!









We headed back to Suva; and since we were very short on gas--we didn't stop too many more places. These are some of the other sites we saw along the way.










A great trip! We now know more about the island we live on!
