Walking Tour Foa Island and Lifuka Island

9-26-2010

Hello All,
Jon and I took a walking tour of Foa Island today and had a great time. There is a beach resort where we left the dingy that had the most beautiful beach I have seen. We visited 3 villages along the way and walked all the way to the end of the Island. It is connected to the main Island Lifuka by road. The villages were very clean and the people were all very friendly. This place is most definitely paradise in every sense of the word. After walking for 12 miles round trip we stopped at the beach resort and had a few beers and fish and chips for dinner. We went for a swim after dinner then returned to the boat.
We will head for the main Island Lifuka tomorrow and get fuel and a few things we need for the crossing to Fiji. I hope to leave here by the weekend or so and I will let you guys know what we are up to.

PEACE

Hello All,
We moved to Lifuka Island yesterday afternoon. The main town Pangai is here. We walked around after arriving and it is a nice but very small village. We had a beer at a little cafe that is owned by a former cruiser. There are a few grocery stores and a gas station. I need to get some fuel for the boat and customs is here so we will be checking out tomorrow and heading for Fiji some time in the next few days. There is not much to do here so after we take care of a few things we will head for another anchorage just south of here.
Our time here has been great. This Island group is fantastic and the weather has been beautiful. These Islands are some what exposed to the sea so we have been fortunate enough to have had sunny days with very little wind.
That is all for now. I will talk to you guys soon.

PEACE
