Paradise in the South Pacific (part I)

On Beachcomber Island. Native Fijian dancers. Aren't they just gorgeous?

Sandboarding down the historic Sigatoka Sand dunes.

By a swimming pool at a backpackers resort in Nadi, the capital of Fiji.

We hung out at this beach...swam, played footy and volleyball. We had the whole beach all to ourselves (something that never happens in Sydney). Then as we were leaving we saw these people on horses appear from over a hillside...it was like a moment out of The Lord of the Rings, only by the beach. It wasn't surprising though because we were in the province of the horses. Each province in Fiji is distinguishable by an abundance of a certain type of animal, from horses, to cows, to dogs.

Fijian kids doing a warrior dance in the rain to welcome the group I was travelling with into their primary school.
