We took a day trip to another part of the island. We were waiting for the bus and a mini-van stopped and offered to drive us. You can tell if it's an authorized ride by the license plate. It was 20 minutes for the bus and he offered $10fijian instead of $7 so we said yes. It was an hour and half drive and we were all sick to our stomachs when we arrived. UGH. So, we detoured to the nearest resort - Outrigger - sat still, got fresh air and went for a swim. The resorts are not welcoming to people who use their facilities and are not guests, but this was an emergency and we were "deciding" whether or not to stay. Truthfully. But I much prefer smaller campier places and once we recharged, I decided to move on. Alina was the most bummed cause there was a poolside hairbraiding station that did look awfully fun. It was a short walk Kula Eco Park. The kids griped the entire way and I almost gave up. But we went and it was amazing. We got there right two hours before closing time and the staff was beginning their closing festivities which meant FEEDING THE ANIMALS! We got to feed the turtles, and all the animals were out in full form eager to get meals. It's a lovely walk through maintained natural habitat, exhibits and cages. Lots of birds and iguana's. Peacocks in the wild...
