Paradise Taveuni Photo Log

May 29 – June 1, 2015

After leaving Savusavu we bummed around a dive resort… wow, what a treat. And the biggest treat was getting to see Tim and Fran Clepper (Tim’s brother’s wife’s parents, are you with me?) They were there on a dive vacation, and we were so fortunate that we were able to cross paths.

Subject: Exodus – Savusavu to Paradise

What a great few days we had in Savusavu. It was like reunion week as we caught up with old friends and met back up with the ones we traveled from NZ with. It was somewhat of a whirlwind since we had all the usual chores to take care of before leaving civilization for more remote areas. But before we head out to The Lau group we are cruising in style, sitting on a mooring ball at a dive resort called Paradise Taveuni in order to see Tim and Fran (Tim’s brother’s wife’s parents) who are here on a dive vacation celebrating their anniversary. We had a wonderful evening on shore with them for “Fiji Night” at the resort. It was sort of like the Tongan feasts we went to back in Tonga, except, well, resort style! We’ll likely stay here and enjoy the good life for a couple days before pressing on.
Love and miss you all,
-D.
