Island Tour: First Day!

Vacation Time!!

On Tuesday, Dec. 17th, about noon, we started on our island tour. This was the first opportunity that we have had to travel around our island of Veti Levu.


Stopped on the way to eat a hamburger (the best!) at The Water's Edge, Pacific Harbor.







Sights along the way:









We drove to Nadi (pronounced Nandi), about a 4 to 5 hour drive. Just before reaching Nadi, we stopped and bought peanuts and a ready-to-eat pineapple. And a Mango...It was red, and bigger than a softball. It was our breakfast the next morning – it was soooo gooood, and all we could eat!





We had reservations the first night in Nadi at The Tanoa International....great place!  We swam, ate pizza, and had a great place to sleep.

Island Tour: Second Day!

The next morning, December 18th, (after eating our mango--ymmmm!) We traveled North, seeing the country of farms and mountains....looking different from our own Suva area.



Approximately five miles north of Nadi (if you get to the divided highway, you have traveled too far) we turned right off the road and ventured until we found The Garden of the Sleeping Giant. Lots and lots of orchids and other flowers--beautiful. We spent a good hour plus, enjoying and taking bunches of pictures.
