Happy Diwali everyone! Fiji has a large Indian population (near 50%), so it is a big celebration here. There have been fireworks everywhere and at all times of day/night for the last week.
We went ashore today to check out the resort.
It was interesting being in a touristy atmosphere after cruising for so long. You look at everything with a new perspective and the artificialities become more apparent. It was a nice resort and we still had a really great time.
They had a big lovo for lunch.
We got to eat with them for just $20 Fijian.
There were some fire-walkers from Beqa there who demonstrated their abilities.
Lunch was followed by a Polynesian dance show.
The fire-throwers were especially impressive.
Afterward, Gary had a nap in a hammock and Jan went for some 'nature walk' with a guide and a bunch of resort guests, so I just went for a circumnavigation beach walk on my own. Here is the far eastern end of the island.
You can see how narrow the island is in this shot.
It was a really serene walk. I don't think the resort guests come back this way very often.
The water looked like a barren wasteland at the south-western quarter of the island.
I found a really nice shell on the walk and treasured it with all my heart. It was in near-perfect condition and seemed extremely rare. However, I ended up finding a huge pile of them on the western point of the island.
I swapped my special shell for a better-looking one.
The western point of the island looked a lot like the eastern end, just mirrored.
The walk concluded with a nice scenic shot of Wakaya with the iconic horizontal palm tree over a beach.
It seemed odd because I JUST walked past this exact spot during my circumnavigation and did not see this monstrous turtle buried in the sand...
