Vinaka Vakalevu Fiji

Hi there !
Time to break the hibernation right ?

Ok, while Marie was in Europe having all the fun, I decided to go meet my brother and parents in Fiji for a Weppe family reunion, a month ago. The family was complete for the first time in 4 years and just that is enough to make you have a great time. Now consider that this actually happened on what is pretty close to paradise on Earth in my opinion, Fiji.

In no time, we were all on Fijian time, taking the sun, surfing (of course), snorkelling, spearfishing (more like snorkelling with a speargun unfortunately), stand up paddling (and totally assuming it), hunting for coconuts with a big cane knife, eating fresh fish, receiving the "Bula" yelled by locals with the widest smiles ever going through villages !

No need to say the surf is amazing there. Tavarua is truly a gem obviously and the Coral Coast on the mainland hides so many quality breaks, it's confusing !

All photos were taken by Steven Lyon, living the life in Fiji and willing to swim around the shallow reefs (when he's not getting barreled on his bodyboard, that is). check him out http://www.stevenlyon.com.au/
