40 - Bye Bye Fiji

In this episode we are back from Suva and get settled into an apartment in Namaka (area of Nadi), Fiji. We then start to explore, looking for beaches and historic sites. As for historic sites, we find that Momi Bay Historical Park, the official touristy maintained gun battery south of Nadi, is closed for COVID reasons. But later we continue north of Nadi and find another gun battery, Lomolomo, that is just....there! No fences or tourism advertising or signage to keep anyone out. And there's wild lemongrass growing all over the place, with some curry leaves too! The first beautiful beach we show you with the horses is Natadola Beach near the Intercontinental Fiji resort. We show you the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, which is a cool collection of orchids from all over the world. We stop by Vuda marina where we see the catamaran Amanecer up "on the hard" waiting for Rob and family to return after cyclone season, as well as Patches. And we visit Lautoka. To be honest we didn't get a great first impression of Lautoka. Lastly we say goodbye to Fiji....returning to record cold weather in Vancouver. Stay tuned to find out what's next!
