Port Denarau near Nadi

We had Saturday off for conference so we "reserved" the van, made reservations through Worldmark at the Wyndham in Port Denarau, and headed west and north on the Queen's highway for the Nadi area.  It was an interesting 3 1/2 hour drive, with sea views and some winding through the hills around Signa Toka.

The Wyndham was nice, the pool was recovering from the huge rains of Tropical Cycone Zena and looked good on Sunday and Monday.  We went to Port Denarau Marina, to check out the island day trips and cruises for the future.  We ate Saturday dinner at an excellent restaurant in Nadi, Tu's Place. On Monday we checked out, sadly, at noon and did a few stops in Nadi area to look for other hotels.  Finally, we ate lunch at Burger King where the Whoppers and fries were good.  We had a good drive back to Suva, very little traffic.  It was good to be back in the Temple yesterday, but the break from routine was stimulating.

Reading conference talks.

Beach with the tide out. There were paddle boards and
kayaks, with jet skis and parasailing just up the beach.

Port Denarau Marina:
Many day trips and multi-day cruises leave from here. There are big homes on canals with big boats too.

Only two months from home, but this still looked and was very good
