After an exhilarating day at the Upper Navua River, we head back to Nadi along the Queens Road...
Paddle Hard... Life Is Too Short!
There's idyllic charm in these parts...
The fiery Royal Poincianas show up again...
The rolling hills...
...make Fiji a paradise, a paradise of my dreams!
We make our way towards Nadi...
Sugarcane fields, around Sigatoka...
These were lands tilled and toiled over by the girmitiyas tricked and brought in from India over a century back, and now known as Fijian-Indians, and yet despite being the most productive community, they can't own land they cultivate. That's another one of the damaging British colonial legacies that lives on as the law of the land...
There was heavy rain here today...
What a pretty sight!
Dwellings of farm workers...
And the sun comes out a bit, but I keep dozing off and on...
