3/29: It was a quiet evening, but the kids had fun.
4/29: The next day Sana took us to see a waterfall behind the village.
5/29: A nice fall with a deep, cool pond.
6/29: We took the bus around the northern half of Taveuni to the main village Somosomo.
7/29: Everything in Taveuni is called "meridian" or something with dateline, because the 180° line runs across the island.
8/29: We did some shopping in Somosomo.
10/29: And took the bus back--only 30 km, but the trip took a whole day ;-)
11/29: We got some more veg in Vurevure and help carrying everything back to the dinghy.

13/29: The trail leads through dense forest to a nice lookout.
14/29: Our tour guide :-)
15/29: The first two waterfalls are pretty.
16/29: The trail goes on past tree ferns...
17/29: ...and we met some local wildlife (they are everywhere, but only this one was posing).
18/29: The last fall is truly spectacular!
19/29: We sailed a few miles down to Lavena.
20/29: The coast is wild, rugged and has no barrier reef, so the swell breaks against the rocks--only an anchorage in very calm conditions!
21/29: We took the dinghy into a creek and walked to the Lavena waterfall.
23/29: During the christmas holidays there's quite something going on here!
24/29: To get close to the falls we had to swim through a canyon.
26/29: We continued by dinghy down the coast and explored into yet another creek.
28/29: More waterfalls and locals having a good time!
29/29: The next morning we motored down another few miles--waterfalls everywhere!
