Fiji- Day Two

Camille and I went on a day cruise to a few different islands. We had so much fun talking to lots of different people. We met the "London hat boys" the "German dude" and the "Tasmanian family."
We did snorkeling off of the island where the movie "Cast Away" was filmed. I am sad to say I have no pictures of us in our snorkel gear. We looked ridiculous. We looked even more ridiculous when we would scream as the fish got close us. We had a blast though. These next two pictures are the words "Cast Away" written out in coconuts.

At Mana Island they greet you with a song. We truly felt like celebrities living in paradise.
Then we rode on an 83 foot fishing boat to the other (smaller) islands. As we were driving, they caught a swordfish! When we got done playing on the island- we came back to the boat to have lunch. They served the swordfish! Camille said it was pretty good. I had the chicken.

Here is a view of the "Cast Away" island.

Then we went to another island to see a little village right on the beach.

Here is the chief of this particular village. We were able to attend a cava root ceremony.
They set out all of the goods they make so we could do some shopping.

It was incredible to spend some time in the village, seeing how these people really live.

Camille brought a candy bar with her that she gave to these little boys.

They were so excited to have a special treat.
All the children to the "Peace" sign when you ask to take their pictures.
Precious.
