So we had spent about a week in Suva and had a blessed time together and with family. We decided to go to Nadi where the international capital was and spend the remaining couple days before I have to fly back to work in North Carolina. We passed lots of interesting sites along the way, such as this container business. It appeared from the sign that people were using converted units for office space.
Lots of greenery along the way.
Houses were not far off the main road and you could see people cooking and hanging up cloths, Living daily life.
Once we arrived and had checked in to the hotel we both felt the hunger pangs and decided to go get some food. Here we are eagerly waiting for out lamb curry. yum!
We stayed at the Tokatoka Hotel Fiji Which was a really nice place, not far from the airport. Pool, Waterside, Restaurant, Spa, all in house. Or you can also get a taxi and go to town where there are plenty of shops and restaurants.
We were asking the hotel taxi driver about local villages and he said hey you can go on a village tour its only $5 fijian. So we decided to do that the next day. We drove around the valley and got a really nice tour by car. Then we headed to the village.
Here we are in one part of the village. Surrounding houses in the outer area of village was home to about 1000 locals.
The village church.
Memorial stone with different names of I believe pastors that had served in that church.
This is the village drum, the is what was used in olden days to summon send messages through the valley, the sound carries very far.
Holding the wooden drum clubs.
And our tour guide is getting worried that I might be getting ready to summon the village. No worries I didn’t beat the drum.
We walked back around the church and went and bought some handicrafts that the local ladies of the village had made and then we left the village and went back to nap during the hot afternoon.
So we had a blessed time and then the time came for me to get back to work again. Us together before I went through security. Till we meet again my God hold you in the palm of his hand. Love you Dear.
