Dear Friends and Family,
This is one of the most stunning anchorages in the South Pacific. Yesterday, we did the hike from the Batavu Bay to look down at this gorgeous setting.
There are about 10 large \”mushroom\” like rocks that range in size from a small to a very large truck!
If Cyclone Winston didn\’t ruin the habitat, this is the anchorage where 1000\’s of fruit bats will fly all around the anchorage around sunset. If so, photos will be taken.
Photos will be forthcoming, but in the meanwhile if you\’ve an interest, google \”Bay of Islands – Fiji\” and you\’ll likely find some stunning images.
I wish my drone skills were there, but alas, not yet.
We\’ll be here one night and then move toward Taveuni, possibly stopping at Kimbombo Reef \”Secret Spot\” tomorrow?
In the meanwhile, we\’ll relax, explore and take lots of photos. Fiji has some of the best internet in the Pacific, so when we get to the \”big city\”…:-), perhaps we can start posting photos.
KIT,
Scott and Nikki
