The following couple pictures are some of the villagers homes. They are such neat people, and come from such humble places. They were always smiling and saying "bula" to us everywhere we went.
One of the many flowers we always saw. I wish I had taken more pictures of all the flowers, they were beautiful!!
This was a coco bean. Who would have thought that this is what they look like! We cut open the pod, and then tried a fresh coco bean. They taste nothing like chocolate and you don't even bite into them, you just suck on them. They had a really weird slimy texture, and was bitter and sour at the same time. They are actually cut open and then dried out and fermented.
There were plenty of fresh bananas everywhere you went. Not only could you pick fresh bananas but we had fresh grapefuit, oranges, guava(not a fan), pinapple, and pasion fruit. Pasion fruit was our favorite and I really wish we could buy it here at home!
On our last night there we went to a resurant that overlooked the ocean. It was so beautiful at sunset. The food was some of the best we had(besides our fresh wahoo Cris caught) and we even had some great entertainment. We thought we would hear some local Fijian music from the band that played but instead we heard lots of American oldies. :)
This was the airport that we flew out of. If you could even call it a airport. It was more like a tin shed with the least security I've ever seen, and I loved getting on the scale to have myself weighed just to make sure the plane wasn't over weight.

We can't wait to go back, and are saving our pennies to take the family!!
