Visitors and then Visiting - Savusavu to Taveuni

Annual family photo at Taveuni

A few hours after Liz's parents flew home my parents came for a visit.  Then we went to visit them at their Taveuni home.  Normally we stay a few days with them in Savusavu and then sail together around to Taveuni.  This time the weather was not cooperating so my parents and the big kids went ahead on the ferry and we followed a few days later in Fluenta.

Haircut time

Grandparents and big kids take the old BC ferry to Taveuni

We followed a few days later and anchored near their house with a very secure spot for the dingy.  The dingy is starting to look a bit shaggy.

Hanging out in the stream

Lots of Diwai fun with sparkers and fireworks.

A great bunch of kids.

and we ate so well !

and, of course, we ate so well at the Plantation as well.  Here Johnathan gets some cooking lessons from Granny on using banana leaves.

No trip to Taveuni would be complete without a trip to the waterfall (see previous visits at:  https://sv-fluenta.blogspot.com/2018/05/more-adventures-in-fiji-rock-waterslide.html.  Unfortunately my Go Pro did not cooperate so this is the only photo this time.

Even a time for a date

while Granny supervised Benjamin.

and, yes, back to Paradise Resort.  Here the ever helpful and funny Sonny is keeping us entertained.

Some cliff diving as well.  The fun thing here is it is a bit shallow.  I touch bottom everytime I jump.
