A full day tour by sailing boat, and diesel, to an island for some snorkling, swimming, canoeing and fun. All meals included so we skipped breakfast. 8.30AM pick up by bus and then the hour trip to Port Denarau where the boat departs. Besides dodging the many pot holes this driver was a maniac...and I was sitting in the front seat next to him. An overcast day with a few spots of rain, but it wasn't cold. My photos do not do the views justice, as the many islands that are around there would be worth looking at. The island we went to is a breeding ground for turtles, so we were asked to take care and not walk in certain areas. Lazy Fijian walk around the island takes 15 minutes...

Waiting at the front of the hotel.	Port Denarau. Clive on a rock !.	Anchor's away. Leaving port.	Boats of all shapes and sizes here.
Our sailing boat was under disel power.	Slight rain but we were undercover.	Cloudy and overcast day, but it wasn't cold.	Morning tea while the sails are set.
The crew entertain us with songs.	Your own private island with Bures.	This was to be our island hideaway.	Walking around the island. The views are amazing.
Off goes Clive again.	The dive centre for snorkles and scuba gear.	Our boat at anchor while we have lunch.	it's after midday so a trip to the bar is in order.

No he's not asleep, just resting.

Another view.

I told you he wasn't sleeping.

The crew relax with some volley ball.

Us under an old tree.

More islands in the distance.

The water was crystal clear.

One of two landing craft that transferred us to land.

Gai on the island.

Even the miner birds wanted a drink.

Volley ball soccer style.

Looking to the rear of the boat.

The glass bottom boat returns for the stragglers.

Nearly the last of them.

Threatening clouds but no rain.

More boats, more islands.

Leaving our island.

The crew making more music.

Stitched view of the hills on the main island as we head back into the harbour. Had it been sunny it would be spectular.
