Blue Water, Battered Boulders, Boat and Bear


No doubt about it, Fiji has to be my very favouritest holiday place, and Captain Cook's boat is the best way to see it. Here is another boatload of happy bodies on the way to another island, another beach, another reef. This is actually the entry to the Blue Lagoon. This is an absolutely beautiful place and the location of possibly the two worst movies ever made. The rocks here are spectacular, limestone blocks eaten away at the waterline by the salt water. They are so sharp and jagged that not even small bears can climb on them without getting lots of cuts. Notice my boat "Reef Escape" moored in the background in deeper water, and how the small bear is navigating the boat in toward the beach.
Guess what? Only eleven more weeks and I will be back on "Reef Escape", heading for the International Dateline. I can hardly wait to stand with a foot each side of the Line, one foot in today and one in tomorrow (or yesterday if you count the other way).
