The Garden of the Sleeping Giant is a must see if you love orchids, For those that do not care about flowers will also enjoy the beauty of the gardens. The garden gets its name from the mountain above. It is thought to be in the shape of a giant asleep on the mountain. Maybe if you have a wild imagination. There are also birds that like the fruit and flowers in the garden. We saw some beautiful Collard Lori's there eating berries. |

| Sri Siva-Subramaniya temple | | |

 |  on August 8, 2003 |
WHile your so close in Nadi it would be a shame to miss seeing such a spectacular piece of architechture. The temple is right at the end of the main shopping area in Nadi near the market. There are signs about the rules for entering the grounds. Just talk to some of the people about to enter for better instructions. |

| Sawa-i-Lau Caves | | |
| | ||
| on August 12, 2003 |
The Sawa-i-Lau caves are the caves that the movie Blue Lagoon was filmed in.The cave is located on Sawa-i-Lau island in the northern Yasawas. The trip to the caves was well worth the cost. You swim throught the cave up to a solid wall or rock 100 feet high, then go under water and under the wall to reach the second large chamber. In the main cave the Fijian guides show off their climbing skills by scaling the wal and jumping from incredible hieghts. David's Place on Tavewa is a good place to do the trip from. |

While I was in the airport in Suva waiting for my flight to Kadavu, I met a guy from that island. He asked where I was staying. I told him I did not know. He said "Oh, then you had better come and stay in my village" I was nervous at first, but I decided to go. The village was Solendamu village in Tavuki bay. When we arrived in Vunsea I saw what he had meant. There were no roads, no hotels, nothing, I would have been stranded. When we arrived at his house they had a big feast to welcome us home. I was treated as an honored guest. I asked one of the men in the village if many visitors came there. He said Oh yes and pulled out a guest book. The first date in it was 1981....there were only 151 names in the book. I had a wonderful time..so if someone who looks sincere asks you to visit there village, go for it. But be careful around the big cities, there are a few shadey charicters around. |

| The drive from Nadi to Suva | | |
| | ||
| on November 7, 2003 |
If you are thinking of taking a plane from Nadi to Suva, I would say you should think hard about driving instead. The drive from Sigatatoka on to Suva is amazing. I got luckey and caught a ride with some surfers who had a rental car. We stopped about 6 times to take pictures |

| Copra Planation | | |
| | ||
| on October 5, 2003 |
If you stay at Susies plantation resort, or anywhere near southern Taveuni, yoo must see the spectacular copra plantations. I have probably used this picture 4 times on my page, but it was so amazing. At sunset huge fruit bats fly around everywhere. The plantaion butts right up against the sea and the veiws throught the trees are worth the walk. I saw a lot of copra but not anything like this plantation. |

| Fish Feeding |  | |
| | ||
 |  on September 24, 2004 |
After lunch we wandered over to the point on Nanuya Lai Lai Island for fish feeding. Alan said to be there at 14.00. Several of us were, but no Alan. It was Fijian time of course! He turned up eventually, with a large plastic bag full of bread. We could all do our own feeding, and he had encouraged us to bring the snorkelling gear, which I was really pleased about, as it was absolutely amazing under water. I used a whole roll of film just on the fish feeding, and by the time I surfaced again, everybody else had gone, there was just me, my mum and Alan. It really was unbeliveable from below the surface - definitely one of the highlights of the cruise. |

Both in Nalova Bay and Nanuya Lai Lai we were able to go snorkelling, and at Nalova Bay there were glass bootom boats too for thos e people who didn't want to get wet or were not very confident in the water. The water was very warm, very clear and very shallow. There were many nice corals, and plenty of colourful fish to observe. |

| Yasawairara | | |
| | ||
| on September 24, 2004 |
Yasawairara is a village on the island of Yasawa, the most northerly of this group of islands, and the one after which the group has been named. The island is about 22km long and less than ome km wide. Yasawairara is situated in the north of the island, and is the most traditional of the villages found here. It is also the seat of the Tui Yasawa - the chief of the island group. The village we visited is still very traditional (read primitive) - the only building to have electricity is the church and water comes from a spring. The doctor visits every two months or so and the children have 2 1/2 hours each way to school. On our way back to the ship, the villages had laid out a little market for us, with shells, corals, wood carvings and the ubiquitous T-shirts. I did partake in some retail therapy, more to help with the local economy than anything else. We travelled here on board a Blue Lagoon Cruise, and spent the afternoon in the village. The nearby beach is known as Vuawalu Brach (eight month beach) referring to the fine sand that is said to take eight months to rid yourself of. It certainly was a beautiful fine sandy beach! :-) |

| Catamaran sailing on "Wanaka" | | |
| | ||
 |  on October 7, 2003 |
If you are into sailing (as we are) but haven't been able to sail up to Fiji, this is your opportunity for a "real"sailing experience. The sailing catamaran "Wanaka" departs from Denarau Marina, takes you out to the outer reef break where you hopefully see the spinner dolphin. Then it's on to the sandbar for some snorkelling which was amazing. Very shallow water but with awesome visibility, coral and fish galore. Then they take you into Musket Cove for lunch - we recommend the fish but there is a meat option and then (wind permitting) a fast sail home. |
