On the 10th of October is the celebration of Fiji Independence, which they call simply ‘Fiji Day’. The Fijians are very proud of that and to express their pride and joy they celebrate it all day long. We were really lucky to be in Fiji on that same day, so we could gather in the celebration too. First we watched the Chiefs doing the Kava (traditional drink from Fiji) ceremony, then all the Fijians sang their National Anthem, after that we all got together for games and playtime outside.
In the evening, we watched the most beautiful sunset ever. Our last sunset in Fiji! And the celebration continued during the night with a group performance competition of traditional Fijian dances.
We didn’t have chance to surf in Fiji, because you have to go by boat to the surf spots and the waves are huge to kids like us. But Dad and Mom went surfing by boat to a surf spot called Cloudbreaks and also to Wilkes Pass, and they love it surfing in the Coral reef.
We had so much fun in Fiji and were kind of sad to leave, on the 11th of October, but at the same time excited to go to our next stop: Hawai’i.
Our last day in Fiji was sunny and hot and we still had time for a last swimming and snorkeling. And we finalize our Fiji time saying thank you in Fijian:
Bula Vinaka!!
