Visiting the local village - Viseisei

 The local village. Wearing a hat is disrespectful.
 The kids are always soooo cute......"Bula bula" - hello
 Having a bath. He wanted to hop out when he knew his photo was being taken :-)
 Each table is run by a different family and all money goes back to the villagers.Liked this idea much better than all the other means of buying Fijian trinkets. Half price as well :-)
 Typical village housing.


 Ceremonial drums for announcing life, death, marriage and any other news.
The Methodist missionaries had a big input in this village.
The missionaries discouraged the practice of cannibalism and this was a ceremonial stone to commemorate the cessation.
