Rabi Island, Fiji

Albert Cove, Rabi Island, Fiji.
We left Taveuni island yesterday and are now anchored
upin a tiny cove in the north of Rabi island. It's
very quiethere with just one boat to share this
wonderful place with. It truly looks like a picture
postcard. No cell phone no internet and no
infrastructure at all. This island is inhabited
by Polynesian people from Kiribati who were brought
here by the Brits in colonial times and we will go
ashore todayto meet some of them and take a walk
along the beach and do some snorkelling. Taveuni
Island was also most enjoyable. Lots of boats
there and old friends and a few bars and restaurants
in some resorts dotted about. We celebrated the 25th
wedding anniversary of Steve and Helen on Dignity
and also did an excellent road trip to a waterfall
on the eastern side of the island. We took
a chicken bus to the Bouma National Park and did the
Lavena Coastal Walk to the Tavoro waterfalls. The walk
was an hour and half along the beaches and villages
in the area and across a rickety locally built bridge
and up to the falls. A cool, freshwater swim and then
the trek back and a kidney bruising ride back to the
boat in a taxi with no shocks. We have some excellent
photos but no way to post them until we get to Labasa
in the north part of Vanua Levu. Perhaps next week.
