Tavoro Water Falls, Taveuni Island

Hello All,
We started the day with not big expectations, just because everything of interest on the Island requires transport. It is a big Island and because of our short stay that didn't give us much time to explore by foot or by sea and all of the spectacular scenery is miles away.
We met up with Wendy this morning, she was our tour guide yesterday but I could not remember her Fijian name so that's here nickname used by most of the village. She took us to a waterfall not to far away and we went for a swim in fresh cool water. After that we went back to town and we met a guy that was talking to her and he asked what we were doing and how long we would be staying. Then he learned we would be leaving soon he told her that he had a car and would be willing to take us to the Tavoro waterfalls for 50 Fijian round trip with his Toyota. He told her, in Fijian, that anyone visiting the Island has to see the waterfalls, otherwise they haven't been here. So with some thought we took him up on the offer and we were on our way 30 miles around the Island to see the falls.
The long and the short of it is, we made it to the falls and they were awesome. I didn't take my camera but Alex did and he has some good photos of all of us.
There were 3 sets of falls and we saw all 3. The bottom one was easy but the other 2 we had to hike to and the trail was good. He brought us back to Wendy's place where we had another Fijian dinner.
We said our goodbye's tonight and we will be on our way to Viti Vevu in the morning.
We have to cross the Koro sea for all the day and night and land at a fabulous place in the end, 90 miles away from here.

I will keep you up dated.

PEACE
