Week 2: Fiji

We lost a day getting there...

Sunday: jet lagged, lost, and very confused in a foreign country. We are lucky we made it to our hotel and slept the entire day. It poured rain...drops the size of dimes, all day long!

Monday: We ventured out in the city and went to Port Denarau. It was cloudy and rainy that day too. We visited some resorts. We walked through some neighborhoods. And got our bearings driving on their roads.

Tuesday: We went to a time share presentation to get some free tickets to an island excursion. After that we went to Natadola Bay. It was a gorgeous beach! But getting there was crazy! We were driving on these dirt roads that were one way and were halfway flooded!! We were not sure if we were on the right road...but we were!

Wednesday: Natadola Bay again. It was that good.

Thursday: Sleeping Giant- This orchid farm that has over 2000 species of orchids! They had all these walkways and it was really beautiful! We checked out the village life too.

Friday: South Sea Island excursion. This is where the pictures come from! it was this tiny little island that we were dropped off at for the day. We went snorkeling, sea kayaking, and sailing! We loved it there.

Saturday: Bounty Island excursion. We felt like we were the only people on the island. we had a little bure and beach chairs to lounge in. We read books and just relaxed. Jeffrey went snorkeling.

Sunday: Church in Fiji was amazing! We had the best time there. Everyone was so happy we were there and so welcoming! We participated in everything and they kept calling Jeffrey Vegas boy. We flew out Sunday night. Because of the international date line...we hit sunday again when we arrived in Hawaii. We missed our flight and had to pay lots more money, but we were finally able to get a flight home! We had been traveling for 24+ hours!
