We so much enjoyed being able to get into the mountains, on the river, and swimming in the pool beneath the waterfall. Great choice to spend our extra day in Fiji.

We stayed an extra day after the conference to experience part of Fiji. We miss the mountains so our choice was to go inland, up river in a motorized canoe to a waterfall. We boarded the canoe for about a half-hour ride up the Navua River to a small village passing rainforest and farmland along the way.

A Fijian warrior guided us to the village meeting house. We learned about local customs and traditions and participated in a welcome ceremony where we could try kava, a sedative drink- we abstained.

After the kava was passed around, we watched a war dance and then joined in the snake dance, weaving around the meeting house.

We toured the village. The preschool children sang to us. Women demonstrated weaving, mat braiding, and painting tapa cloth.

We made our way to our canoes and continued our journey to the waterfall. We passed by more rainforest, gorges, rapids (we had to get out and walk past one set of rapids), and waterfalls. We saw many native birds, ducks, and heron.

Our canoes glided onto shore and we began our "hike" (10 minutes through forest) to the "Magic Waterfall," the tallest falls on the Navua River.

We took a dip in the clear pool beneath the cascading water. It was so refreshing, a bit cold to get into but we quickly adjusted. We swam to the falling water. It was tricky because the current was so strong but we did make it and let the water cascade over our heads. We stayed in the water until time to depart, about an hour.

Once at the village, we asked some boys if there were coconuts. One of them climbed up the coconut tree and knocked down coconuts for each of us. The other boy used a bush knife to open it up for us to drink. We love to drink the water from the coconuts. We then made our way to the bus for the trip back to our resort.
