SIGATOKA SAND DUNES and a visit with Mary....



One of Fiji's natural highlights, the Sand Dunes have been forming for millions of years as sediments brought down by the Sigatoka River are washed ashore by the surf and blown into dunes by the waves. The Sand Dunes were declared Fiji's first national park in 1989.  Archeological excavations have uncovered pottery more than 2600 years old and one of the largest burial sites in the Pacific.  We climbed up the sand dunes to the ocean, through the mahogany forest and back.













A VISIT TO MARY'S "HOME"......We traveled to Sigatoka, about 2 hours for us on the bus.  We passed many little villages and roadside markets on the way......  After climbing the Sand Dunes,
  we had dinner and overnight with Mary.  Thanks Mary for a great visit!



Mary's little house.....she has created a beautiful "HOME".  Loved the indoor/outdoor shower, your garden, Fiji Bitter nightstand......




Mary's neighbor brought flowers....
