We just set sail from Suva. So looking forward to a Sea Day.

Most of my photos posted on CC are from my iPhone 15 Pro Max while about 50% of the movies on my youtube channel are 50% Phone and GoPro. Will have to see how things turned out today. I went swimming in a pool under a waterfall and took my GoPro for a swim.

That is much of Fiji. Most of the villages are 100% self sufficient. Based on a variety of sources and calculations, it has been estimated that the average monthly salary after tax in Fiji is approximately FJD 1,200. This means that the average annual salary would be around FJD 14,400 (about USD $6,000) I do have to say they are some of the friendliness people you will ever meet. BTW - The population of Fiji is 929,000 - They so want to break the 1 Million mark.

I think we visited a similar visit today..... I again was again appointed the Chief. Of course Iain missed shooting my Ceremony.

Suva is so much more developed. As the Capital City - there are shopping malls, Embassies etc...etc.. Stay tuned..... I'll be posting some pictures and will upload a video to Travel With Jim_Iain - I have a lot of footage so will take me awhile to produce it.

Playing with Fire --- You got to see the Finale

Couple quick uploads of a Fijian village

Bart is definitely a keeper... very attentive to our every need.

Letoka Fiji today

May be you would need an excursion. We passed the reefs coming in and were out quite a bit and were really beautiful from the ship.

So far it was a real hunt to find much color. May also have been it was Sunday and all the stores were closed. I saw more interesting shots outside the port.

They did put on some busses to a resort -- 1 hour drive and had to have tickets for a 2 hours time slot. The warned us against the beaches as it was Sunday and local beaches would be crowded. Today we are off to the inland on a small group 4 wheel drive jeep expedition. We meet at 8:15 so you can only understand getting Ol' Grump before his fist cup of tea.

All of those were taken with my iPhone. I am working on a video I'll post on my FB Travel With Jim_Iain. I did cut one video when I was propositioned by a a Transvestite.... My jaw was probably dragging on the sidewalk.

On the way back to port saw some interesting sight, so walked out of the port to shot some sights.
