Best travel greetings,
Lammert (the Netherlands)
Nice pictures and trip! Great little blog - and nice pictures! The starfish you pictures is a "crown of thorns starfish". It destroys (eats) coral reefs and is poisonous to the touch (the thorns will easily pierce your skin and inject toxin). The good news is found in your snorkeling picture - where you feature a triton snail. Tritons eat crown of thorn starfish. That's why it's now illegal to collect this shell/snail in Fiji.
Anyway - yes, there used to be a little hut on stilts out on the reef. It was about a hundred meters from shore, just as you rounded the corner heading down the east coast road. You'd see it at the same time you saw Qamea and Matangi Islands for the first time.
I hope you had a great time on Taveuni - it's actually one of my favorite islands in Fiji. In fact, you can see some of my Taveuni underwater videos on YouTube (ScotterP99) in case you get nostalgic for the place.
Thanks again for the pics. They're great!

Once again, this is amazing Just wanted to say this trip has blown me away. What an incredible experience! What amazing photos! What an incredible country! I feel like I'm on a high just reading your blog, I can only imagine the high of being there in person. Wow. Keep the blogs coming. I am looking forward to reading more.
WOW This is so amazing Netter. I am so excited for you and even though I'm having my own adventure right now, I couldn't help but be a little jealous of yours! WOW. What an incredible place and journey so far. I'm spending the afternoon catching up on your adventure and my god, it really is incredible. I'm so proud of you and excited to hear all the stories again once you get home. YAY for dreams coming true!
Did you buy a special case for your new camera for diving, or were you just diving really shallow? Or does this one allow you to go deeper than 10 ft?
Great photos! Awesome about the shark. I did a shark dive with 20-30 reef sharks but it was guaranteed that we would see sharks (wild, but still being fed once a day), and you were lucky enough to just see one out in the ocean!!! WOW!
Such beautiful landscape and surroundings. You must feel so tranquil during those moments where you can just sit and breathe it all in. So happy for you Netter.
jealous of your beautiful diving! Can't wait to hear all about it.
Congrats on checking yet another one of your things off your life's list.
The pic of the airport shack is hilarious!
Your place looks LOVELY! You are totally in paradise. ENJOY!
Congrats! Love the hammock life Netter. Congrats on achieving yet another dream. Soak it all up.
Oh, and remember: if your soul ever craves Honduras, I'm here and waiting for ya! ;)
You're lucky to see the octopus, especially while snorkeling! They are usually only active at night. Love the shot of Joey with the trigger fish behind him. Awesome.
looks like my surfing experience in Nicaragua. Our instructor told us we would only ever need one lesson in our lives and not to waste money on other lessons. I think the nice thing about having the instructor though, is having them push you into the wave in order to catch it. When I tried on my own, I couldn't paddle my arms hard enough to catch the wave. lol. Congrats on the stand. :)
You saw a whale! Jealous! Looks like you had a lovely time in Hawaii. What great itineraries you've had this time! Bet it was nice to see something other than the Caribbean!
Lost with Lost Netter, I AM currently watching the last season of Lost and that building means nothing to me. lol. That show is SOOOOOO freaking confusing. I'm constantly lost with lost - really! Still love it though.
Very cool that you saw all these places. I totally recognize many!
I make and teach art. The rest of the time, I travel. After Spain, England, Uganda, California and years of tour guiding, it was time for the next big adventure. Working for Carnival Cruise Lines. I signed onto my first ship in December 2006. Sevent contracts and twelve ships later and I've been around the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska.
What have I put my hard-earned cruise money to? More travel! Oct - Dec 08 I travelled around South Africa. Sept 2010 I went to Fiji which had been at the top of my travel list for years. Making dreams come true!
