On day 3 we went to the oldest Catholic in Taveuni. It was nestled on a hill side over looking the ocean. It was amazing to see the work put into the church and the stained glass was beautiful! The church wasn't open on the day we went but I was able to sneak a picture of the inside from a side door that was propped open.
This was the view from the front steps of the church. I don't know how you could go church, when you have this view. I would want to be outside playing in the ocean!
Up next was the International Date line. Don't fall over but Cris ran two days in a row, and was also kissed two days in a row! It's a miracle!!!
The natural water slide was a blast! There were also lots of little pools of water to play in. Check out the videos at the bottom of the post for footage of Cris and I going down the slides. While we were there a native family showed up. A little girl was going down the slide on her feet like she was surfing. Her balance was amazing! Cris couldn't believe how fast the little kids would run up and down the trails without shoes. The pads on their feet are so thick I don't think anything would bother their feet. Cris on the other hand had to wear his flip flops while walking on the trails, I have tougher feet than him and didn't use mine.

When we got back from our adventures around the island, we hit the beach for some snorkeling. I told Cris he looked like scuba Steve. This was Cris' first time snorkeling, he really liked it! We saw several blue star fish, clown fish, a many other fish I can't name. :)
