Sunrise on the second day saw us on our way to another island which I think is called Sacred Island. | ||||||
 |
Here is the chief of the tribe on the island, preparing a drink for a tourist welcoming ceremony known to tourists as a "Kava" ceremony. | ||||||
 |
Here are Georgia and Tracey posing with the chief after having their yummy drink. | ||||||
 |
Rob and I posed for a picture too. We were told we had to wear leg covering clothes and as we only had shorts we had to buy pirau (sarongs) which Captain Cook just happened to sell. Rob wore a singlet that day and had to to buy a t-shirt. When we got to the island the locals were wearing singlets and shorts :( | ||||||

The locals then put on a show for the tourists, singing and dancing. | ||||||
 |
The entertainment moved inside when the rain started. Boy was it hot in the community hall. When the dancing started we were roped in pretty quickly. | ||||||
 |
Nalauwaki Bay on Sacred Island. That's us boarding the boat to go back to the tall ship. | ||||||
 |
Sunset back on the mainland at the Fijian Shangri-La resort, another resort where the pool water must have been 35 degrees. | ||||||
 |
Farewell
to Fiji.
Isa Lei is the traditional Fijian farewell song. You can download it and other Fijian music here. |
