Just a few moments before the bus leaves for the end of the road at Lavena on the island of Taveuni.
Stayed last night as guest of a tarro farmer and his family. Corrogated metal home that you see photos of after hurricanes. No power, no facilities. But not polite to deny the hospitality. Longer story later.
Heading beyond internet reach for 4 days but was unable to send last blog from Savusavu as the hotel connection did not work.
Main base is now the Hot Springs Hotel in Savusavu and I will be back there Tuesday. This Island may be one of the most beautiful in Fiji. Must work hard to find places to charge my camera battery.
Found this little internet spot near the "bus terminal" and while I type, they are charging my camera for a bit.
Beautiful country, weather and people. Roads very rough and most things very basic, next to primitive sometimes.
Seems like the adventure continues and it sounds like you are really going to see the country and its people, perhaps more so than if you were sailling. I am heading to see Mum tomorrow and will try and help her get to the photos in you dropbox
