BULA!

Ok so people talk about traveling to Fiji their entire lives, and you see pictures of the resorts there and the amazing amenities and food and lavish decorations and accommodations, that Fiji is NOT the Fiji we went too, let me sum up the difference we paid 400$ for a week and that included the airfare, so yea....
But with that being said we still got amazing views! And we got to experience Fiji a way very few people would dare too!
We took another 'Taxi' aka hollowed out school bus with no windows, through the down town on Nadi to the marina where we would be checking in for our Bula passes and getting on the boat that would take us from island to island for the next week. As we were traveling through downtown we got to see the kids get on their buses for school and the parents head to work, i thought how different life would be if I had grown up on a tropical south pacific island, pondered that for the moment as we passed through the 'ghetto'. We then turned into this beautiful community that was gated, the homes we huge and had views of the ocean! we reached the marina and unloaded our luggage and checked in at the front desk, it was so HOT. We milled around for an hour and got lunch and headed to board the boat. Each island destination had their own boarding tag, our luggage was marked and loaded and we were off to sea to our first island, Waya Lai Lai.
