Fiji

January 12th - 17th, 2011

We took a helicopter from the main island of Fiji to Tokoriki Island.  It had rained the previous day and all morning and we had to wait several hours for the weather to clear before we could fly. 
We shared the helicopter with Sandy and Aaron from California.


Our bure was right on the beach. 




Hibiscus






Crab Races



And the winner..........OJ Simpson from the USA



















We took a kayak out one day to the other side of the island.  There are 2 resorts, one family friendly and the other for adults.  We heard someone calling Chris's name and it was the couple we shared the helicopter with!!  Sandy and Aaron had their own bure and private pool, it was gorgeous!!  They were so kind and we enjoyed talking with them!

Abby made friends with Jojo.  There was also a cat on the island with the same name. 





Goodbye Fiji
