honeymoon in fiji - part 1, aka: time to relax.
with the honeymoon over, we just can't stop talking about how perfect the trip was from the weather to the places we stayed and the new friends we made. the first few days were rainy and perfect for relaxing and reading on the porch watching the rain on the waves. once the weather cleared up we did absolutely nothing but snorkel, lay on the beach, take naps, and eat. the second half of the trip (a later post) was more of an adventure, but first...
^^it really is paradise!^^
^^after we learned to open coconuts, we spent a fair amount of time eating ones we'd find on the beaches^^
there's lots to do on the islands other than eat coconuts though :) you can enjoy the wildlife like beautiful lizards, giant spiders, all of the dogs that we fell in love with, and my favorite baby goat called nani.
you can also go on medicine walks, take snorkel or dive trips, or just talk to the villagers about fijian history. below bio teaches me basket weaving from palm leaves.
and of course the evenings are full of traditional fire and other dancing, cooking, drinking, and amazing sunsets. we had no trouble settling into fiji time. the villagers were so happy and positive (and musical!) and you come away from them with a complete attitude adjustment. i left knowing all one really needs in life is the beach, their love, and their dogs :)
