Wananavu Weekend

Wananavu is about 2 and 1/4 hours North of Nadi Airport.  We spent the weekend there during our house hunting trip.  We stayed in two Bures (Isabella called them "Cottages") that were side by side with incredible ocean views.



Fijian music is a major part of the Fijian culture.  Isabella and Everett enjoy "music appreciation" everyday...











Most everyone in Fiji speaks English, but we are working on our Fijian... 
Hello                    Bula       (Boo-lah)
Good Morning     Yadra     (Yan-dra)
Good Bye             Moce     (Moe-they)
Thank you            Vinaka   (Vee-na-ka)





Of course, one of our favorite past times is finding coconuts and having Dad cut them open so we can eat the coconut meat and drink the coconut milk.  Dad purchased a machete (actually two...) so he can cut open the coconuts like a true Fijian!

We pick up bread from the restaurant at the resort so we can feed the fish.

Another beautiful weekend in Fiji- and it was back to Denarau Island on Sunday night.  Tom left for work early on Monday morning, and as Everett got his day started, he looked at me and said, "It feels good to be back at the Radisson."  I guess he appreciates modern conveniences (like central air conditioning) like his mom.
