We got in some snorkeling the morning of our departure. Beautiful tiny tropical fish were hiding in coral – diving in for protection at the least provocation. It almost looked like the coral was breathing fish.
After that nice experience, the rain came back. Apparently the best time to visit Fiji is in June/July but NOT January! We had a nice farewell with songs and leis, then stepped into the boat for a nasty ride. Although it looks calm in this photo, we had 10 ft. swells before our 30 minute boat ride was over. Yikes. Definitely time to leave Fiji!
How is Mike holding up with the rocky boat rides? I know he doesn’t like even calm rides if they’re very long, much less a bumpy one.
Sounds like your trip is off to a great start overall based on the pictures. Keep em coming
He’s been fine. Fortunately we share a distaste for bumpy boat rides and bugs. In this case we had no choice, but it was over in about 40 minutes. I still felt like I was on the boat for quite a while after!
