FIJI



We arrived in Fiji at Savu Savu which is on one of the bigger islands. Savu Savu is a working town with local atmosphere. We were welcomed with a Kava ceremony
at the Coprashed. Kava tastes of boiled socks and looks like dishwater. Cannot see what the locals get out of it unless it has a cumulative effect. Had to join the locals in wearing the Sula (Fijian skirt). All parts of the coconut palm are used including the leaves to make baskets. We spent a week cruising inside the reef to Musket Cove a holiday resort just off the main island in the south. We are now chilling out again! Leaving for Vanuatu in a day or two which should take 4 days.

Are you entitled to wear that kilt. There is a srtict rule in Scotland that nothing is worn under the kilt. Can we be certain that everything is in perfect working order?

yagona is made by the women chewing the roots and spitting them out into the tanoa (that big wooden bowl)before they are dissolved and you got to drink that!
