Fiji, part 2

The blue hammock was my favorite one. Later that morning two little kids, Mela and John, pushed me on it, as if it were a swing. You can see my dorm in the back, in the upper right corner, behind the tent.


These shorebirds would skirt the edge of the coastline, nearly dipping their wings in the seafoam.


On Tuesday a few of us took a motorboat to the village on the other side of Waya. Here you can see the Sunset Waya resort from the boat's view. The left-side of the photo stretches out to a sandbar, which leads to another island, and which would disappear during high tide.


At last we arrived at the village. First things first -- we meet the pet iguana.


The twin boys scrunched their noses at the iguana.


This village was very self-sustaining. Papaya, breadfruit, and coconut trees were plentiful. Also, the villagers would smoke their own fish in small smokehouses. Here's a kitchen set-up.
