It's cold here in Canberra this morning. Autumn is heading toward winter and this is the first morning that Dad has left the heater on until almost lunchtime. Days like this I want to be somewhere warmer, so I remember the great places we have been. One of the best is the Blue Lagoon at the northern end of the Yasawa islands. We had a perfect day there. Warm but not too hot, crystal clear water, spectacular scenery, friendly fish and a friendlier crew. What more could a bear want. This is one of the small bays hidden along the shore; we wandered off from the main group and had the place to ourselves. Unfortunately, the developers have moved in on this island and it will lose its "Robinson Crusoe" feel, so I was lucky the oldies did this trip with my Captain Cook friends when they did. If you look closely, you will see a small bear in the picture, safely perched on a rock ledge well beyond the reach of crabs.
