when the conch shell is blown. And almost nightly, we've enjoyed fresh Ahi sashimi caught that day by other intrepid visitors. I did have one fishing adventure myself. Let me just say that white-knuckling it in a tiny boat in 8 foot swell is not my idea of a good time, even if Eddie, the calmest, most confident Fijian fisherman is with you. Needless to say, I have sworn off fishing for life and will happily just catch my fish on a plate.
But the best thing about being here, by far, is the people. The Fijians on the island are warm, fun-loving, and their laughter can be heard around the island. They mingle with the guests and we all got to know each other during our week stay. We even attended a local rugby match on the main island and cheered on the Tavarua team.
I've found it's more than just a great surf spot. You know how people come back from a vacation spot and they describe it as magical? Well, this place really is.
Okay, I'm heading out for a surf. Looks like there might be something at Restaurants. Fingers crossed the sea lice don't get me.
Wish you were here,
Rebecca
(Note to readers: If you find yourself on Tavarua, keep in mind that Cloudbreak is an intermediate to advanced surf break.)
