This is how I started my days at the resort. With iced croissants. Does life get any better than this? I think not.
As we traveled from Nadi to Suva, we stopped by the Elder's flat so my dad could inspect their apartment. While we were there, the elders opened a coconut (with a machetti) so we could drink fresh coconut milk.
For lunch, my parents took us to a hidden resort. It was so hidden that my parents, who had been there before, had a hard time finding the little dirt road. It was worth the drive up this very steep bumpy dirt road to get to it. There was a band playing Fiji music while we ate. I truly felt like we had found paradise.
The pool at the hidden resort.
This is a cemetary. They put these tents and cloths around there graves. They cut the fabric so no one will steal it.
These are some men harvesting the sugar cane fields. It was so fun to drive down the roads through the villages- everyone waved and smiled. "Bula!"
This is some sugar cane they have already put on the Sugar Cane Train.
As we were driving through the interior of Fiji, we hit it right as kids were getting out of school. We had a fun time handing candy out to them. They call candy "lollies" there and everyone loved them! We felt like we were in a parade.
Aren't these dresses beautiful? They had lots of nice schools throughout the villages. Each school had different uniforms. Against the green of the land, their crisp uniforms looked fabulous. What little darlings.
They would chase the car and scream as if we were celebrities. It was the most fun I'd ever had. They were just precious.
Here are a few pictures I shot while my dad was driving through the muddy, pot-hole covered roads. It was a spectacular ride.

What a fun trip! I love that you went with Camille -- what a great sisters bonding experience!
Let me bug you about Photoshop again -- how do you burn the edges of your picture to get that thin black shading? I've tried it before and mine always comes out uneven and crazy.
