Fiji: Day 58 - Saying Goodbye

Monday, September 23, 2013

It looks like our weather window will be tomorrow, so we went back to the village one final time to say goodbye. Here is the Captain and I with the village chief.

And the wood carvers hard at work.
"Are you guys working hard or hardly working?" Nobody knew what I was talking about.

We met someone named Tai who gave us bananas and some papayas for the road. Here we are saying both hello and goodbye to him and his son, Coola (or something like that).

But not before having. Some coconut water!

He made the straws from the stem of some plant.

As we were walking out, more and more children ran out to join us until we had this huge procession following us out.

They don't get visitors very often, so they were really sad to see us go (even the ones who had not even met us yet).
