Fiji

Joe and I celebrated everything in 2013 by going on a big vacation. Instead of buying birthday, anniversary Christmas, etc gifts we went to Fiji and Australia. We had such a good time that we have decided that every 5 years we want to do the same thing exploring somewhere new.

we went out on this boat for a day tour of a private island. We enjoyed all you can drink and eat, snorkeling and a Kava ceremony

"Bula" is the word they use for hello, welcome, and pretty much everything. We heard the word constantly while we were there. This is the Bula Bus we took to the port where there were shops and restaurants. 

I will post pics from Sydney and Cairns separately at a later time as there are so many pics to go through.
