Village Guests / Leaving Savu savu

October 14, 2010

Hello All,
We had quiet a treat yesterday, Steve which is one of the locals that we have been hanging out with invited us to his village. It was about an hours drive from here. There is a bus that goes there but we missed the morning one so we got a cab ride there. We got to meet a lot of his family and had a picnic on the beach. The weather did not cooperate very well as it poured down rain while we were there. We also had a light lunch at his aunt and uncles house. We were stuffed when we left. After that we said our goodbyes and caught the afternoon bus back to town. When we returned we hung out with a friend of Steve's at his home and visited till 10 pm last night. His wife made an awesome dinner so we were full once again.
This place has been an experience to say the least, know-one that we have met wants to see us go. They are throwing a goodbye party for us on Saturday so this should be interesting.
It is still raining here, it has been all night so unless it clears up i think i will get the boat ready to get under way. We have been going so much it has turned into a big mess.
That is all for now, more to come later.

PEACE

Hello All,
The last few days we have been getting the boat ready to get underway. We will be leaving this morning for the west side of the Island to anchor for the night at a village. We have a guest on the boat that will be coming along. Tom, a local that we met when we first got here and showed us his village last week, will be making the 38 mile trip with us. He has never sailed before so we were going to take him along and then drop him off off at our first anchorage. There is a road to the village so he will catch a bus back here when we leave over to the Yasawa Group. He is pretty excited and we are happy to have him along.
I will fill you in on a few details of our stay here in the next blog. I need to get going so I will talk to you soon.

PEACE
