Next stop up the road after Soma Soma was the Blue Lagoon of Brooke Shields and the movie fame. The booze barges from Denerau/Nadi run tourists in here by the boatload everyday. Not exactly my gig, but what the hay – you gotta say you were there if you were going by.
There are some very nice resorts and we had dinner at the Nanuya Island Resort which is our pick along with a Lonely Planet best. Extremely nice and the manager spent a lot of time with us.
One of the highlights was attending church (Methodist) at the local village of Matacawlevu.
They had a most unusual call to to worship – beating on hollow logs played responsively from different parts of the village.
We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the service and singing immensely.
Blue Lagoon was my gig after all.
