November 30

Left Suva around to drive to Nadi.  Suzanne comes in at 5:15 tomorrow morning.  Scott decided we would take the day so we could stop along the Coral Coast, southern shores of Viti Levu, to look at the resorts there for places to visit with our kids when they come to visit.

It was a lovely day.  The drive was beautiful.  We did not, however, see any places that I thought were worth the price they charged.  We arrived in Nadi around six o'clock.  We stay at the Mercure which is relatively inexpensive and gives us a great breakfast.

The Sekoula Tree
Exact translation is Blooming Like Gold
Real translation is Ostentatious.

It starts blooming right before Christmas.

Spent some time on Denerau Island asking about the day cruises that leave from there.  Lots from which to choose.  We ate the best pizza we have had in Suva at the Mercure.

I have no idea what this is, but the bush was gorgeous
as in the flower.
