Waya North Photo Log

August 25-29, 2015

Waya is the southern most island in the Yasawas, and we chose to anchor in the large bay on the northern side off of the village of Nalauwaki. This was far from our best village experience… with a resort nearby its easy to understand why the people of the village don’t see us as potential friends but as sources of money. Anyway, Fijian children are fun wherever you go, and it’s aways fun to buddy boat with other kid boats.

After our sevusevu the kids all wanted to go back and hang out on one of the boats. However, more and more we are able to count on Alex to make an effort with the local children.
