Fiji Pics 2

We went on a walk at this beautiful resort called Bayside Resort. We loved this place and it was what we thought all the other resorts would be like. It was the Fiji we had expected before we got there. It was really small and the owners were really friendly.

Tim went spear fishing at night and caught 17 fish. We had fish for supper the next night and it was good.

Karina loves bananas. They were fresh small ones of the trunk.
We went to see a rugby game while we were there and it was cool to see the different islands playing against each other. They play every week.
This was the dining room at Bayside resort.

Fiji Pics 1

Hello everyone,
We are now back in Canada after spending 18 days in Fiji. We had a great time onthe Yasawa islands. We camped while we were there. It wasn't too hot though during the day, it was at least 30C. It was amazing and we had a blast. We didnt do much but sleep, eat, run and work on our tan. The people were extremely friendly and the islands were beautiful. He ate some great food. We had a lovo(food cooked under a pile of soil with glowing red rocks) a few nights. The first pic is of the cooked digging out the food from the pit. We ate some lamb, chicken, potatoes, sweet potatoes and spinach. It was tasty.
This is a pic of us on my birthday celebrating with strangers. We had a great time and had a fun with everyone. It was a good 29th birthday.
A pic of Karina on the boat. Karina wasn't too impress with the storm that blew through on that night. It was a little bumby on the boat and were both trying to get over my birthday night.
Karina lounging on the boat feeling a lot better after another day of relaxation.
Us on the boat. The boat was alright but we all slept together in a dorm style room with 30 other people. The crew was really nice although it was really like just staying in an other resort. The best part of the day was our snorkeling trip with the Manta rays. The rays were enormous (4m wide) and such graceful creatures.


Me in the water. The water was really warm and we went snorkeling alot. We saw a lot of fish. They were beautiful.
This is a pic of our tent next to a bure. A bure is a traditional home in Fiji.

The beautiful beaches of Fiji.

One of the kids, we had fun with on one of the islands. The children are full of live and always smilling.

This was at the first resort. We enjoyed the pool although the resort didn't have the Fiji look we were expecting but the pool was nice since at low tide it was hard to get into the ocean since it was full of coral.
We spend a lot time in hammocks, reading and sleeping.
Another beautiful sunset in the islands.
Me on the beach.
This kid learned how to throw the disk in two seconds. He was really cute.
