PARADISE.....
Joe and I just spent some time in Savusavu on Vanua Levu and Taveuni. We found a great flight from Suva and it was magical. I have never seen such beautiful colors of blues. We also travelled over with Dr. Oz, who was with his family and going to Namale Resort, an exclusive resort owned by Anthony Robbins, self-help guru. We stayed at the Hidden Paradise Guest House!!!!
In Savusavu we toured the J. Hunter Pearl Farm, snorkeled at Split Rock, watched people cook dalo in the Hot Springs, and visited Mission Nalutu. We took the boat over to Tavueni. Today we missed our snorkel trip to Rainbow Reef so we had to read a book on a deserted beach with white sand, blue water, drink wine, eat roti, play cribbage.....Paradise! Weather has been perfect and ocean temperature ideal. Beautiful sunsets. Now heading to Lavena for the coastal walk......(unfortunately I don’t have my battery charger for my camera so no pictures except in our minds of Taveuni!)
Taveuni is called the Garden Island. It is a carpet of green palms and tropical wildflowers, and its dense rainforest is a magnet for colorful bird life. All of Taveuni's electricity is supplied by generators os we only had electricity 6-9PM.
Taveuni has achieved mythical status among divers, who come to Somosomo Strait to see incredible coral.
The 5 km. Lavena Coastal Walk follows the forest edge along stunning white sand, then volcanic black beach, past peaceful villages, before climbing up to two waterfalls where we swam.
The International Dateline twists its way around Fiji, but the 180 degree meridian cuts straight through Taveuni. You can jump from one day to the next!!!!!!!
