Bula! Pictures of our first week in Fiji

Bula! We are on the other side of the world; in Fiji

A picture is worth a thousand words, so not a lot of words today but lots of pictures of our first week in Fiji. We love it here, just what we expected (our expectations were sky high). It's a paradise, very green, sunny and with beautiful beaches. It's not as wealthy as I thought it would be, but people seem to be happy, relaxed and very friendly. We are having a wonderful stay here!


Beach at Maui Bay, close to our home



Because of the time difference (12 hours ahead of NL) we are up very early and enjoying the beautiful sunrise in front of our rental home.


View at the sea from our home up in the hills


Our wonderful host Seema shows us around in Sigakota town to do some shopping for fruit and vegetables at the market 



Seema teaches me how to cook an Indian chicken curry. She has brought her daughter Meesha so she can play with Rafael. They are having a great time and really like to roll the dough to make roti's!


After lunch we went to one of the best beaches of the main island Viti Levu: Natadola Beach.
