My last day on Taveuni Island…

I wish I would’ve stayed here a few more days… next time, yes!

I did a little day trip to see where the International Date Line splits the island…

And also to go on the water sliiiiiiiiiide!

water slide

The slide was near our guide’s house, so we stopped there for lunch (and so he could bring his daughter with us😊). The view from his backyard was 270 degrees of ocean and mountain. And he had papaya, mango, banana, and coconut trees in his yard.

This was my dinner at the Lodge – it toppled over before I got a picture, but it was pretty and delicious (tuna caught that day… and it cost $8!)

This morning, I left Taveuni to come back to Nadi.

I checked into the Westin on Denarau Island for one night – it’s gorrrrgeous (and the first place I’ve stayed at that has washcloths! What a treat😂)
