Week 22

Week 22

Where We Went: Fiji (Nadi, Natadola Beach and Bounty Island)

First Moment Here: The first night we were in Nadi we were eating dinner on the beach and there was the most beautiful sunset.  A great way to start the trip.

Funniest Thing We Did: Hang out with two awesome women from Scotland that kept us laughing.  #laughteryoga

Best Thing We Did: Two days on Bounty Island, a tiny island with white sand beaches, crystal clear water and “Fiji Time”.  We went paddle boarding and the water was so clear you could see tons of blue star fish on the bottom of the ocean.

Tastiest Thing We Did: We went to a Fijian restaurant in Denaru Island called Nandina and had all sorts of amazing Fijian cuisine, from their version of ceviche to prawns.  Yum!

Coolest thing we Learned: “Bula” means hello, welcome and is used as s general greeting, sort of like “aloha” or “pura vida”.

Biggest Surprise: That people can drink Kava.  There was a nightly kava ceremony we thought we’d check out and after one sip of the stuff, we are surprised people willingly drink it.  After seeing how they make it, we were even more surprised.

Mystery Solved: We kept wondering what this thing on the horizon was, trying to zoom in on it with the camera and figure it out.  Turns out it was Bounty Island, the place we went and spent a few nights.  Lol.

Other Updates:

• We watched the Falcons become the NFC champs and most importantly, beat the Packers!
• We met SO many people.  An awesome couple from LA/Brazil, Scottish, South African, Australian and the list goes on.
