Fiji/Vanuatu 2006

Bill and Carrie Roughing it

...............

Bill and Carrie were forced to visit Fiji and Vanuatu
during the fall of 2006 to evaluate where California Dive Center
might be sending guests over the next two years (it's a rough
job, but these two stood up to the challenge).

5am in Fiji - the start of
a great holiday!

A few hours later, arriving
at Beqa (pronounced Benga) Lagoon
Beach Resort - a wonderful place!

Relaxing, Fiji style!

Carrie wants to take it home....

Woke up on the wrong side of bed

Sites like this were everywhere
on the island!

The Fiji people are amazing
with wood.

One little issue - ya gotta watch
where you put your toes.

Wanna arm wrestle?

LOWWWWWWW tide

I think the anchor will hold....

This sand crab was one of thousands
at low tide - and he actually came
out of that hole!

One of many mangroves
during low-tide.

That's a well set anchor.  Bill and
Carrie were diving from this boat just a
few hours earlier.

Now I've said my ABC's, tell you what you think of my wallaby

Roar.

Bill got tiger video...he's happy....

Makes sense, I suppose.

After an unbelievable dive with the
Tiger, Bill takes a break at the
Pacific Resort.
 

This is NOT photoshopped!

Welcome to Vanuatu!

Every good bar has its own pool

Flying to Vanuatu was so
NOT fun.

The Vanuatu welcome wagon.

Bokissa Island Beach Resort has
a good bar. Or swimming pool.
Whichever.

the art of being dwarfed

The dining room

Your move, Einstein!

Bokissa Island is a preserve,
and hosts a HUGE rainforest.

The main hangout at Bokissa Island
Beach Resort.

Shall we play a "little" chess?
